What everyone's laughing (or cringing) at is the idea that anyone could buy that info, because you can't. No private advertiser. No government. It's just not possible.
I was surprised to read this. How could it be considered not possible for google provide unrestricted access to their servers for the federal government? It's unlikely, and unethical, but it's absolutely possible. As misinformed as Rep Gohmert is, he appears to be concerned about the very real possibility that google could sacrafice a users privacy on request from the government.
