A Brazilian judge has ordered the local office of the web search company Google
to disclose data of users of Google's social-networking site Orkut, accused
of racism & child pornography. The federal judge has ordered that Google would
be given 15 days time to disclose the information, including the IP addresses that
can that uniquely identify a specific Computer on a Network!!

No, Orkut is a good way to stay in touch with friends, if you keep yourself clean and also do not get involved in unethical communities.

Orkut does not $uck. I have my account there and I am enjoying it. Thousands and thousands of people cannot be wrong.

By the way, this is completely off-topic discussion. Question was not whether orkut is good or bad but what decision some judge has given.

It has just too much of junk now... though revealing user's privacy is a thing Google almost never does, lets see after 15 days :p

I totally support that orkut is to junked now but google will have to reveal data or face the music unless it moves to a higher court.

Agree with rakeshishere and QwertyManiac.There are no moderator(in orkut) there and the member don't know how to talk.Only educational communities was good.a member of other community insulted me without any reason..he called my profile worst even i don't know who he was..
