Is vint and google harboring or kiddy porn customers, or is this a odd

US District Judge James Ware says he is likely to order Google to
provide the US Justice Department with at least some of the data it has
requested. Google initially refused to provide the Justice Department
with the data it requested, claiming it would violate customer privacy
and could potentially expose the company's trade secrets.  The
government's initial request was for one million random web site
addresses and one week's work of query terms.  The request has been
scaled back to 50,000 web sites and 5,000 terms, with the Justice
Department examining just twenty percent of those.  The government has
also agreed to compensate Google for eight days of programmers' time.
AOL, Yahoo and MSN have complied with the government's request, which
is being made in an effort to support its contention that filtering
software is not effective in protecting children from inappropriate
Internet content. The government is trying to defend the Child Online
Protection Act (1998), which was blocked by the Supreme Court.
