| Subject: Scumbag Google Under Fire For Giving User Info To Police Tue May 20, 2008 11:35 pm | |
| Google is under fire again today for cooperating with Indian police trying to track down an Orkut user who had been rude about a politician.
Police asked Google for user information for the person behind a post called "I hate Sonia Gandhi" - Gandhi being a Congress party politician. Google provided an IP number and email address which were used to identify Rahul Krishnakumar Vaid.
On Friday Vaid was arrested at home and charged with uploading obscene and derogatory text in breach of section 292 of the Penal Code and section 67 of the Information Technology Act, according to ExpressIndia.
