EFF pushes back on Google data scandal response: 'Google screwed up'

8 hours ago

A legal complaint was filed against Google for handing over a user's data to the government without notifying the user first.
Google's policy is to inform users of subpoenas, but there are exceptions, such as legal orders or exceptional circumstances.
The EFF argues that Google's exceptions do not apply in this case, as there was no gag order, the account was personal, and the investigation didn't involve child safety or life threats.
