    Re: what's next

    I do find it unlikely that the justice department seriously expects to overturn the supreme court ruling. I think they are testing the waters to see what data they can get from search engines, using something politicians will find it hard to complain about (child porn). It is interesting that Google are the only ones who haven't rolled over; maybe they truly are the one anti-evil high-tech company. But as I said in my posting this morning, their own ethics and intentions don't make their data safe.
