Att: US Government Re: Google Subpoena

For those of you who aren’t following the recent happenings with Google and the US Government, visit Search Engine Watch’s blog.

For those of you who are, how about this for a novel idea:

If Google refuses the serve the subpoena, obviously fighting them is one option, but the other is simply to subpoena the ISP’s. It is a well known fact that ISP’s have almost exactly the same data that Google receives in it’s query boxes (as they transmit the data), and by serving a subpoena for this data to AOL, Earthlink, etc, the US Government could easily obtain the information that they’re requesting, unless they want more than just the searches…

But then again, I’m just a lonely blogger in the South Africa, what do I know?
