Big Brother? US linked to new wave of censorship, surveillance on web (excerpted)

By John R. Quain - FoxNews.com

Published February 27, 2013

The U.S. government asked G00gle for data on its users more than 31,000 times in 2012 alone, for example. And the government rarely obtained a search warrant first, G00gle recently revealed; in nearly all cases, the company ended up turning over at least some data.

“...the U.S. government continues to conduct warrantless online searches. Thanks to outdated laws such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 and other regulations protecting copyrighted materials, U.S. authorities are increasingly looking at private online communications, - often without any oversight by a judge.

G00gle says it has seen a 70 percent increase in requests from authorities for information about its users, information which includes private emails and search data.

The biggest requester? - The U.S. government, which sought information 8,438 times in the last six months of 2012. G00gle complied with those requests in roughly 88 percent of the cases.
