I'm pretty sure Google complies with subpoenas for data all the time. Given their scale, they probably even have employees whose full-time job is dealing with government subpoenas for data.
- darkhorn 10y agoIf Turkey ask data from Gmail Google says that the USA has rights for free speach so we cannot give this guy's real IP (who sweared to Erdoğan). On the other hand Hotmail immediatly gives this kind of data to the Turkish prosecuters. Why? Because Government of Turkey is the customer of Microsoft but Google is not. So if you live in Turkey who you would trust? If you live in USA who you would trust? If you live in X who you would trust?
