Google Hands Over Profiles Of Suspected Pedophiles
By: Philipp Lenssen 2008-04-25 On April 9th this year, AFP wrote that Brazilian authorities ordered Google to hand over 3000+ profiles containing suspected pedophile material on Googles social network Orkut. However... ...the authorities then complained that Google refuses to identify users, AFP wrote. Now, that has changed, as a new AFP article indicates:
According to AFP, the Brazilian senate commission was looking into allegations that illegal images of minors were posted in restricted-access photo albums on the site. The article goes on to mention that Orkut in Brazil is more popular than Facebook or MySpace. It also says that a member of the senate commission that ordered the profiles hand-over said this was the first time Google had accepted to disclose data. Also, AFP writes that a Brazil state prosecutor said that 90 percent of the 56,000 pedophilia allegations received in the past few years related to Orkut.
