Google Blocks Government Probe Into Search Data

This week, the search engine company Google refused to turn search engine queries and other user information over to the US Department of Justice for analysis. Most surprising was that Google did not cite user privacy as the reason for their refusal.

Veronica Zelman, an official Google spokeperson, said yesterday, “We’re not sure why the government is even bothering with this data. They want search queries? Pussy, pussy, pussy, marijuana. Figure it out. It’s not that hard, people.”

US Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez rejoined, “But the Department of Justice needs to know how many times people searched for the word ‘pussy.’ This is a critical and sensitive security issue.”
