Obama hearts Google data requests

Remember all that talk about The Patriot Act?  The fear of Big Brother?  How you were losing all your civil rights?  All of that would be changed by electing Barack Obama.  Well guess what, it has:

google data requests

The United States various governments have made 3,580 data requests from Google between July 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009.  They are still waiting on their legal challenges to expand the Patriot Act.

What’s that?  I can’t hear those people who whined endlessly about Bush for eight years complaining right now.  They’re much too concerned about people protesting the government.
