Big Brother? US linked to new wave of censorship

This is real scary that this can be done without a warrant.

The U.S. government asked Google for data on its users more than 31,000 times in 2012 alone, for example. And the government rarely obtained a search warrant first, Google recently revealed; in nearly all cases, the company ended up turning over at least some data.

Chas, does Texas CHL have a policy for giving/releaseing information? Kind of like the one that the web host has on their site?

I've never had a request for information and I can't imagine receiving one. The information is readily available by searching the site. I suspect that any formal requests would be made to the web host, not to the administrator of a board. If I had additional information not readily available, I wouldn't release it without a warrant.
