U.S. District Judge James Ware ruled Google Inc. won't have to disclose to the Bush administration what people have been looking for on its widely used search engine, handing a significant victory to the company and privacy rights advocates.
"We will always be subject to government subpoenas, but the fact that the judge sent a clear message about privacy is reassuring," Google lawyer Nicole Wong wrote on the company's Web site Friday night. "What his ruling means is that neither the government nor anyone else has carte blanche when demanding data from Internet companies."
