Sure, whatever. In for a penny.... It's the simple fact of rolling over for __insert_your_hell_here___ that gets under my skin, and then spinning it. Had it not been for Google refusing the DoJ, we'd have never known that AOL "just" turned over a little bit. - ferg -- "Larry Seltzer" <larry () larryseltzer com> wrote:
"We did receive a subpoena from the DOJ last fall, but we did not comply with the requests made in that subpoena. Instead, we gave them a list of aggregate and anonymous search terms that did not include any results nor any personally-identifiable information."
As my father always told me,"In for a penny, in for a pound."
I don't have a problem with them providing aggregate data. Nobody's privacy is violated.
