Google in Trouble in Brazil

They seem less compliant with Brazil than they were with China:

"A judge on Thursday ordered the Brazilian subsidiary of Google Inc. to turn over information on users of the company's social networking service Orkut or face daily fines of $23 million.

Federal Judge Jose Marcos Lunardelli gave Google Brazil 15 days to release information needed to identify individuals accused of using Orkut to spread child pornography and engage in hate speech against blacks, Jews and homosexuals".
