San Jose, Calif. - The federal judge appointed to hear Google's defense of its refusal to turn over search results to the U.S. Justice Department has been postponed, from Feb. 27 until March 13. The Justice Department has sought records of search engine results from users of AOL, Yahoo and Microsoft as well, but only Google refused to provide the data the government hopes to use in defense of a law meant to protect minors from online pornography. As a result of the subpoenas, Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), said he plans to introduce a bill that would restrict the keeping of users' search records and other data by websites, CNET News.com reported.
