The Electronic Frontier Foundation has already reacted, calling the order a violation of the Video Privacy Protection act that "threatens to expose deeply private information."
Google correctly argued that ?the data should not be disclosed because of the users? privacy concerns,? citing the VPPA, 18 U.S.C. § 2710. However, the Court dismissed this argument with no analysis, stating ?defendants cite no authority barring them from disclosing such information in civil discovery proceedings, and their privacy concerns are speculative.?
