I am a bit worried about this. Google is becoming so prolific in so many areas. Government access to Google databases is a bad thing. Hell I am even worried about Google having access to Google databases.

The Bush administration on Wednesday asked a federal judge to order Google to turn over a broad range of material from its closely guarded databases. ...

Ok, I see how it is now with you conservative types.
Spying and violating the civil liberties of peacenics, enviro activists and hippies is Ok but when they start coming after your internet pr0n... then they've gone too far! :yikes:
Sorry man, I'm not trying to jack your thread or turn it political. I just had to get that joke out after I saw the pr0n headline in your article. :p

google is here to save us, not conquer us.
(though, the iriquois thought the same thing about the british)
as long as advertisers are paying for stuff instead of me, bring on the googleness.
That's ok, I expected to get a backlash for staying on the defensive about 'snoopgate'. But thought this one deserved it's own treatment / thread...Quote:

google is overrated.
maybe as a product, but as a business they are LIGHT YEARS ahead in their thinking. everything from the 20% rule to their ability to avoid market myopia is about as cutting age as it gets.Quote:

My conservative side begs for a smaller government with a much smaller role in the personal and private lives of we the people.
Places like Iran and Cuba monitor and censor the internet, not us.
Our respect of personal privacy and rights is one of the things that define us as a country and sets us apart from other countries and forms of government.
We already have laws to combat any form of child pornography both on the web and off of it.
We are fully capable of enforcing those laws without giving the government any more power to trample our rights just because it would make their jobs easier.
Finally we've found something to bring Libs and Cons together... Pr0n, the great uniter.

arn't parents supposed to protect their children... what's next gun locks, helmets when riding a bicycle.... car seats!!!!!

wrong approach to solving the problem, imo. they should be entertaining a violation of privacy concept regarding spam and internet advertising schemes. if they got that under control, the porn would be much easier to keep away from children.
i swear when the FBI invent the shrinking ray, every computer is gonna have mini FBI agents in them. You'll be on a pron site and constantly hear "move out" and walkie talkie noises.
Friggen FBI, could they be anymore of a government agency.
