- And you're fool accepting all from that outlaw service. A huge amount of users breaking Our laws and no one will do something, no one will take the responsability?
The Government and the Justice are in the right path. -

- Besides, it clearly states this:Quote -Like the question of a government's right to seize search engine data, extraterritorial jurisdiction has only been partially addressed through the years in various countries and courts.
Failing on your reading skills?
And it's obviously they need this information to kick those pedo's asses. I hate them.

- Yeah, but before starting all this fight, the government kept days and days insisting to brazilian google give them information about orkut users, they thought orkut was hosted in brazil only because because 95% of orkut users are brazilian... Well now they and those informations and if google don't demand it they want to close google brazil and block orkut to brazilin ip's. I think its kinda exaggeration.
(sorry yes i have bad english)

- Paedophiles are a waste of life.
I say if there are any on the site which I've never heard of then they (Google) will do what is right to put a stop to it

- Brazilians really should care because comunism facing the country in next years.
My friend Nicolas talked about Heloísa Helena a higly charismatic marx-communist woman and now after Lula she must give the country to new comunist era.
Well, China is also comunist but this does not hinder the possibility for open-Economy but I really doubt brazilians accept work for the same money as chinese people.

- @ ^.*: What on earth are you guys going on about, and is it absolutely necessary for you to bring up the US government at any juncture when your own government is mentioned in the news?
Google has complied with some of the public attorney's requests, according to accounts, but the Brazilian government has threatened to close down its operations there if Google persists in holding back additional information.
This suit is the latest example of government agencies targeting search engine providers to obtain data that could aid prosecutions. Google's dispute with the U.S. Department of Justice earlier this year bore some similarity to the circumstances in this case. The search giant won a partial victory in that instance.
The Brazil case has additional implications that could impact cross-border e-commerce , at least between the United States and Brazil. Extraterritorial jurisdiction -- a government's right, or lack thereof, to exercise authority beyond its normal boundaries -- has been an issue lurking in the background ever since e-commerce began to gain momentum 10 years ago.
Like the question of a government's right to seize search engine data, extraterritorial jurisdiction has only been partially addressed through the years in various countries and courts.
