The context on the 'maybe you shouldn't be doing it' quote is that Google is not going to disobey court orders to protect your privacy. It was never Google's responsibility. Please let's move on from this particular dead horse.
- headShrinker 14y agoYes we know the context, and in quoting him it, it goes to support a passed history he has of passive-agression. Sorry you don't like it, but that doesn't mean it's not valid. In that case, Google was brushing responsibility for the 4th amendment and reporting them to the government, whether Google actually did have a responsibility is not really in question. The point is he redirected responsibility and targeted someone else. This similar to what he just did with Apple, dumping all responsibility for the maps issue in Apple's lap like Google 'did no wrong'. We don't know what actually happened but we know Google isn't as altruistic as some would want to believe and as Schmidt makes it sound.

Though, Google complies with NSLs too, which are administrative subpoenas written by the feds and never seen by a judge, so let's not get all "court order" here.
