Judge tells DoJ "No" on search queries

“Google will not have to hand over any user’s search queries to the government. That’s what a federal judge ruled today when he decided to drastically limit a subpoena issued to Google by the Department of Justice. […]

The government’s original request demanded billions of URLs and two month’s worth of users’ search queries. […] In addition to excluding search queries from the subpoena, Judge James Ware also required the government to limit its demand for URLs to 50,000.”
