Google asks judge to block Miss. AG Jim Hood’s inquiry

Google asks judge to block Miss. attorney general’s inquiry

Google argues it’s immune from much or all of Hood’s inquiries under a 1996 federal law.

Hood is looking into whether Google was facilitating illegal activity through its auto complete service, which automatically fills in words for the user, such as “how to buy oxycodone.”

Hood says Google has jumped the gun on its objections because he doesn’t know what his inquiry will find.
