"The publication asked Google to reveal how many 'keyboard warrants' and 'geofence warrants' it has received from investigators since 2017."
'Unsealed court documents reveal that Google has provided police with information on users simply based on their keyword searches - an action that some say could be a violation of US civil rights. ', "Ordinarily, police would have to hone in on an individual suspect before giving Google a warrant that orders them to provide that person's search history - but 'keyword warrants' subvert such a practice.", "CNET reports that investigators 'sent a search warrant to Google that requested information on users who had searched the address of the residence close in time to the arson'.", "According to CNET, there has been a 20 fold increase in the number of 'geofence warrants' served to Google in the past three years alone."
