Orkut! The online social network formed by Google. Do you guys know that 72 percent of its 16 million users are from Brazil(astonishing).Lot of people on orkut used it to keep in touch with their friends and some of them constantly use to spam messages like,join this community-”5 star guys”,”vijay fan club”and “I like the dosa my mom makes”(wtf is wrong with these people).But Its just a great site to pass time and know whats happening around with our friends. And more over it was been declared as the youth icon of the year 2007. But the Brazilian prosecutors don’t understand that and ask Google to pay a $61 million fine as orkut has been used “to organize criminal activity and promote child pornography”. They also want information about the users. But Google protects the user information.Google has politely told that “we have obeyed all the judicial orders that requested we remove undue content. Some orders demanded that we turn over user information for investigation and we complied”.
