Chevron targets Google, Yahoo, Microsoft e-mail accounts
http://j.mp/QjTUFE (CNET)
"A $18 billion legal battle pitting Chevron against indigenous
Amazonian Indians has spilled over into a California courtroom, where
the oil giant is trying to force Google and Yahoo to turn over e-mail
accounts used by attorneys for the Ecuadorians. Microsoft has also
received a request."

Chevron execs can go jump in a drilling borehole (as far as I'm
concerned). Even though this case "only" involves transactional data
(not email contents), it's time that transactional data protections be
brought up to 21st century standards of expected communications
privacy, instead of the early 20th century pen register sensibilities.
