Brazil gives Google two weeks to turn over user data The Middle East Times ^ \| 9/1/06 \| AFP metimes.com SAO PAULO -- Brazilian authorities have given Google Brazil 15 days to turn over user information from Websites that promote criminal activity, threatening the company with $23,000 in daily fines if they do not comply. Filed through a district court in Sao Paulo, the judicial order Thursday noted that Google had so far "unsatisfactorily met" investigators' data requirements, preventing them from identifying criminal elements using the Internet service. The government, monitoring online messages for possible crimes, wants the US company to turn over users' personal information to curb violence, racism, discrimination, pornography, and child abuse. Should Google Brazil refuse to comply fully with the demand, the judicial order provides for levying a $23,000 fine for each day of non-compliance.
