There's been an interesting development with Orkut in India.

The last part of the article talks of Google handing over information 'very fast' on the perpetrators of the crime. Thought it might be interesting in the context of Brazil and Orkut.

I find this interesting because it might potentially set a standard for other international cases where data is stored in the US but originates in what we might call less than democratic countries

The reverse is equally interesting - the cases where data is stored in countries that protect the rights and privacy of users better than the US does. This is not hypothetic: I am personally involved with developing a service that will be offered to US users, but where we are looking into having the data stored in Europe or Canada. Why? To protect US users from government transgressions under the PATRIOT act.
