Nothing can stop such an order. Anonymizer responds by having no activity logs to give. We do have subscriber lists, but no information at all connecting that to web surfing activities. We have no way of knowing who might have visited any given site on any given day.

What is there to stop the same Judge from ordering Anonymizer to turn over its logs/user lists?

Please hyperlink the Google blog. It would also be interesting to hear your opinion on Gmail’s “anonymized” headers and the resulting hypocrisy of Google’s statements regarding the use of an IP to identify an individual. Why does your blog contain a search feature and the Anonymizer web site does not?

Several years ago AOL released its search logs which had been scrubbed from any identifying data and researchers were easily able to trace back to the actual humans who made those searches.
