Google's war against the US department of Justice has cost them dearly, with their stock taking a 10% drop in one day. The US department of Justice has requested Google to give up a week's worth of information that is transferred over the google search engine. At this point, it is unclear as to why the US Justice department has requested information for a specific period of one week.
A subpoena was all that was requisite to milk out all the information that was necessary, possibly justified in the name of the "War against terror". Google has denied the request for the moment, but it remains to be seen how long it can hold its ground on the battlefield against the US Department of Justice. Read more

Well, that's the million dollar scene to look for...
if it continues to defend customer privacy, it will increase its goodwill but will cost them alot. They are in lose-lose situation anyways.
Yeah, despite the fact that Google is defending its customer rights, it is in a weak situation at this point, especially since it is coming under great scrutiny for complying with the Chinese government and blocking access to certain resources for Chinese patrons.
People in the US government are asking: "Why comply with the Chinese and not us?" It is a pretty stupid question to ask, because those are two totally different issues, but it's all over the media and it is putting a stain on Google's reputation. Let's hope for the best because I, like a lot of other people love Google.
