Google Fights U.S. National Security Probe Data Demand
http://j.mp/XfVZHb (Bloomberg)
Google Inc. (GOOG), operator of the world's largest search engine, is
challenging a demand by the U.S. government for private user
information in a national security probe, according to a court filing.
It "appears" to be the first time a major communications company is
pushing back after getting a so-called National Security Letter, said
the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an Internet privacy group. The
challenge comes three weeks after a federal judge in San Francisco
ruled that NSLs, which are issued without a warrant, are
unconstitutional.
