Google ordered to turn over data to FBI

A federal judge has ordered Google to comply with FBI warrantless demands for customer data.

U.S. District Court Judge Susan Illston on May 28 rejected Google's argument that the so-called National Security Letters were unconstitutional and unnecessary. Google could appeal the decision. The company declined to comment. The order omits any mention of Google and the proceedings have been closed to the public. The order references a separate case in New York federal court that the "petitioner" is involved in another lawsuit with the government over similar disclosures.
