And you deserve a true Wikipedian stamp for asking, even if
you work for Google, own stock in Google, or work for an

someone that's not hostile to Google either.

ACLU's description (listed along with EFF as a privacy
site):
http://www.aclu.org/privacy/gen/15680res20010823.html

EFF lists PI as another resource in it's Privacy Top 12 (it
also includes a Google search link, but no link to
Wikipedia):

Google's own ACLU site only results for PI:
