Google to Give Data To Brazilian Court

Google Inc., which refused in the past year to hand over user search data to U.S. authorities fighting children’s access to pornography, said yesterday that it was complying with a Brazilian court’s orders to turn over data that could help identify users accused of taking part in online communities that encourage racism, pedophilia and homophobia. The difference, it says, is scale and purpose.

It seems that Google really had no choice at all in this matter, but at least it’s a worthwhile case. The continual moral of the story is that you have no privacy online, so it’s best to use it with that mindset.
