Go on, send our ranking even horribly higher. We've slipped down to #9 the past few days.
I was about to, when I decided to take close and hard look at the text of the terms of the licence/terms of service or whatever that thing is... only to first notice that it was last updated 4 years and 8 moths ago, to the day.
And contained the following language:
"We disclose any information we possess in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal requirements, and such information might be used by the receiving party to determine your identity, your Web usage and online shopping behavior, or other things about you. We generally do not inform users of such requests for information, although we might try to do so in some cases."
Any idea if this spreadeagle supine position applies to court orders from China, Iraq, Turkey or other charming countries of similar caliber?
