Google Hands Wikileaks Volunteer’s Gmail Data to U.S. Government
From the article:
The idea of an ISP handing over user data to governments without the aid of a search warrant has some troubling implications for privacy advocates and civil liberties proponents.
In the WikiLeaks case, the line between advocates and participants in the transfer of data can sometimes be blurry. If in its ongoing investigation into WikiLeaks the U.S. Department of Justice is free to ask Google, Twitter or Facebook for private data without users’ knowledge, who’s to say they can’t access private information about people who have merely expressed sympathy for the organization?
