Google Hands Over Gmail Account Info

If someone sends hate speech through Gmail, Google may hand out the account information based on gov’t requests – it happened in this case, eWeek reports:

The [Federal] agents requested the records on June 22nd, 2006 after the National Association of Colored People (NAACP) notified the FBI they had received a threatening e-mail.

The recovered records included the offending e-mail, registration information, session timestamps, and originating IP addresses for amgonow@gmail.com.
