- jhancock 15y agoWhat do you mean "had no choice"? They ran out of appeals? The gov sent in storm troopers and held a gun to someone's head?
- jxi 15y agoIs that really what's needed for you to be satisfied with Google's decision? You need there to be violence to prove that what they did was enough?
- jhancock 15y agoNo...I simply asked to what extent they dug in their heels. The first question I posed in this regard was did they exhaust their legal, non-violent appeals process. The second question was referring to a metaphoric gun; questioning if the gov used extremely unfair measures to produce the results they wanted. I was looking for someone that had more extensive knowledge on this event to provide details. I don't have them.
- nkassis 15y agoWell if they were given the choice between giving the relevant data or getting their entire data center raided, I'd pick option one.
- burgerbrain 15y agoThey had the choice to say "No, fuck you. We're not giving it to you. In fact, one of our interns accidentally just the entire relevant harddrives." No, they just ran out of choices that didn't actually demand anything of themselves.
