Please answer from your thoughts not course hero sources,thanks

Question is:

Why do you think Google was adamant in not wanting to supply information requested by the government concerning the Child Online Protection Act? Do you think Google was justified in not wanting to comply? Explain your position.

Refusing the Justice Department On January 19, 2006, Google announced that it would vigorously challenge a request by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for Google to supply to the government information pertaining to Internet searches done on Google. The DOJ subpoenaed Google in August 2005, requesting all website addresses that were located through Google from June 1 to July 31, 2005. The request was to aid the DOJ in defending the Child Online Protection Act of 1998, the purpose of which was to protect minors from being exposed to sexually explicit material available on the web.2 The DOJ wanted to use the data from Google to determine the effectiveness of ltering software compared with the protections that are supported in the 1998 act. The DOJ wanted to take the data from Google and use the more current ltering software that is commercially available to see how successful the current filters would be in excluding explicit websites from the search results. The Child Online Protection Act has faced a number of legal challenges. In 2004, the Supreme Court did not overturn an injunction that had been filed to block the enforcement of the law. In October 2005, Google told the government that the DOJ request would imply that Google would be willing to reveal information pertaining to its users, which was unacceptable to Google. Google described the request as too vague, burdensome, and a form of harassment. Google also stated that the request would take up too much of Google's time and resources and that it would threaten Google's competitive advantage by exposing its proprietary secrets. When the DOJ tried to get Google to provide a list of 1,000,000 website addresses that are available via a Google search for only 1 week without any identification of who the users were, Google did not accept this compromise. Google continued to be firm that its decision stating that the DOJ request overreached what is expected from Google for compliance. The DOJ responded by stating that Yahoo!, Microsoft, and America Online were also subpoenaed in August 2005, and all three of Google's competitors complied with the government's request.31 In March 2006, Google refused the DOJ's revised request for Google to provide 50,000 web addresses and 5,000 searches, of which the government would use 10,000 websites and 1,000 searches in testing its filters.2 On March 17, 2006, a federal judge ordered Google to give the DOJ some search data including 50,000 websites but not the 5,000 sample searches As a number of critics have pointed out, it appeared ironic that Google was a committed defender of privacy and freedom to control its data in the United States yet appeared to agree with every limitation the Chinese government had requested for its Chinese website.
