An AP wire story this afternoon:
A federal judge said Tuesday he intends to require Google Inc. to turn over some information to the Department of Justice in its quest to revive a law making it harder for children to see online pornography.[...]
Although the Justice Department said it doesn’t want any personal information now, the victory would likely encourage far more invasive requests in the future, said University of Connecticut law professor Paul Schiff Berman, who specializes in Internet law.
“The erosion of privacy tends to happen incrementally,” Berman said. “While no one intrusion may seem that big, over the course of the next decade or two, you might end up in a place as a society where you never thought you would be.”
Such happy thoughts early in the week that V for Vendetta is set to hit the big screen.
