Google signed an agreement with Brazilian public prosecutors to help combat child pornography on its social networking site Orkut. Google will be using filters to remove and prevent illegal content from orkut.
Google will be preserving six month access logs of users being investigated for illegal conduct. 90% of illegal internet content being investigated in Brazil involves orkut. Orkut out of the 60 million users, half of the users are from Brazil.
I still remember the days when orkut started when it was purely more professional and less spammy. Now a days its the biggest source of spam for marketers and people promoting website or some product. Porn is also another major area that is giving orkut a thumbs down. The amount of sleazy profiles and communities in orkut has gone in large numbers. Fake profiles,Defaming people are all part of this. Lets hope Orkut does some sorta move like this in India also to counter the Indian Spam and Porn posters.
