To revive Internet child protection law, US Dept. of Justice asked Google for all search strings over a one-week period (without any info on who entered it), to see how often porn shows up in the results. Other big search engines (Yahoo!, MSN Search and AOL), turned over the required information. Google refused, citing privacy concerns.
