BBC NEWS | Technology | Google set for court in data spat:
Google is to take on the US government in court on Tuesday as the internet search engine fights demands to hand over records and lists of data.
The Justice Department wants Google to provide a week's worth of search records, saying it needs the data to help it better police cyberspace.
But Google complains that complying with the request would compromise its business and the privacy of its users.
Similar requests were made of other net firms such as Microsoft, Yahoo and AOL.
