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.

The Justice Department wanted Google's entire search index, billions
of pages and two months' worth of queries, for a broad civil case.
Brazil, by contrast, is looking for information in specific cases
involving Google's social networking site, Orkut.
