Right, I am assuming, because I'm not particularly familiar with the workings of the FBI lol.
Surely it's obvious that by "pressure" I'm referring to the threat of some sort of nebulous legal-y action if Google didn't comply with [xyz request]. Is that not how law enforcement functions? (I'd be shocked if they were asking very nicely and offering to take Google out to dinner.)
- acheron 3y agoThe point is that the real world is not a thriller movie. No, the FBI doesn't do that.
- spondylosaurus 3y agoWhat exactly do they do, then?
- matthewterhune 3y agoOf course they do, though not to a big company like Google for something trivial like this when they could pay a bit of money. Threats aren't cost free.
- thatguy0900 3y agoCorrect, the fbi never breaks the law or does anything not strictly above board.
