This is the latest example where the government seems to think they are entitled to get all sorts of information without providing an adequate justification.

If they can't get that, it's a good thing for privacy advocacy.

The public should not be afraid of searching for any information, no matter how personal and private it may be.

We have already told AOL that it's likely we will need to do that discovery if the government relies on information provided by AOL regarding its search engine. And we've also so informed Microsoft.

If the government utilizes the information in any manner, we're very likely going to need to do follow-up discovery.

Our understanding is that MSN and AOL have complied with the government's request, that Yahoo has provided some information in response, but that information wasn't completely satisfactory [according to] the government.
