Larry Page compared the feds demand for their search data to a hypothetical example of the feds being able to search private residences for pornography without cause. It sounded to me to be more of a personal stand based upon the principal of the issue and less so on business grounds.
The Bush administration wants to know how often computer users search for child pornography on the Web — specifically, how many times Google users look for the sites. It says it needs the data to prove that the problem is so widespread that criminal penalties are needed to stop it.
The Child Online Protection Act, which carries criminal penalties for online pornographers, was passed in 1998. But the Supreme Court stopped it from being enforced and ordered a lower court to determine whether filtering software could protect kids from the Web sites without violating adult free speech.
