Google surrenders Orkut data
It's been a long time coming, but Google has finally handed over Orkut data to Brazilian authorities. Google is complying by surrendering data on users with the requests that were requested by Brazilian courts. Brazilian prosecutors are investing illegal activity that might be going on inside of Orkut, Google's social network, and sued Google for the requested information. Google has been fighting the requests because Brazilian prosecutors had requested information from Google's Brazilian subsidiary, but Google US owns and runs Orkut from the US. Thus extending the process because all requests had to be sent to the California offices.

I think it is a right step taken by Google, in case a country thinks that there are illegal activities going on in orkut, then they must be able to keep a check on it. Although, I think that Google must take serious steps towards all those communities and must have a check on them. There are many communities but still with the help of robots it is possible to take care of those words which can reflect the illegal activities.

I'm sure I could jam in a few more "requests" in there!

IMHO: Google the same in finding as the Microsoft in operating systems.
