Law enforcement and government agencies will now have to pay out in order to obtain user data from Google.
The company has decided to begin levying charges starting this month for offering the information like emails, location history, and other key details such as user search history.
In what is considered to be a major change in how the data requests are being dealt with, Google will now charge $45 for a subpoena, $60 for a wire trap and $245 for a search warrant. The company has already sent a notice to the enforcement agencies informing them about the charges.
