Google and the Bush administration were set to square off in court today over the government's request for data on Americans who use the Google search engine. The hearing marks the first time the Justice Department and Google have sparred in court since the government subpoenaed the company last summer in an effort to obtain a long list of search requests and Web site addresses.
Google has refused to cooperate, maintaining that the government's demand threatens its users' privacy as well as its own closely guarded trade secrets.
Guest: Lauren Gelman, associate director of the Stanford University Center for Internet and Society.
