Keeping politicians' hands off the Net & everything else related to technology
Chris Soghoian has an important post on the C|Net News blog examining a Google statement to him about whether it has facilitated or participated in government surveillance.
In response to Chris’ question, “Is Google sharing ‘huge volumes’ of search records with the government?”, a Google spokesperson said, “Google was not part of the NSA’s Terrorist Surveillance Program.”
That’s answer that should peg anyone’s non-denial denial detector. Google should be more direct and forthcoming.
