		ultramundane828 on Aug 9, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Free Schnail Mail for life I may have missed some clarifications, so I feel the need to ask: Did the USG not force Google to comply with their demands, and also keep quiet about it? I know that was the initial story. Or is the issue that Google went above and beyond the USG's requests?

My definition of force involves things like threats of violence, firearms. FORCE.

People's definition of force here on HN seems to be "A written request by the USG."
