Google could face Brazil lawsuit

Google could face legal action in Brazil for failing to provide details of site users allegedly involved in pornography and crime.

Brazilian prosecutors say that Google’s community website Orkut – popular in Brazil – contains information promoting crime and child pornography.

Federal prosecutors want a judge to order Google in Brazil to disclose users’ information or be closed down.

They also want Google to pay $61m (£32.2m) as a fine for damages.
