Google Trying Not To Be Evil?

Google will now anonymize IP addresses on their server logs after 9 months compared with their prior 18 month policy.
Retaining data can help Google perform many functions such as ad targeting, keyword suggest, etc, but their large repository of data is causing concern in the government.
This move more of a political crowd pleaser than anything as Google self-policing themselves will keep away the anti-trust lawsuits.
The Department of Justice is supposedly looking to take action soon, the WSJ reports they have already chosen a lawyer.
