“Free” Internet:Google hands over user information in India

Friday, May 23, 2008 at 3:41 pm

An Indian man is facing five years in jail for making an “offensive” comment after Google handed his personal data to local police.

Rahul Krishnakumar Vaid, a 22 year-old IT consultant, was arrested after posting derogatory comments on Google’s Orkut social networking site.

Vaid was posting in a forum called ‘I hate Soniya Gandhi’ and was identified after the police asked Google to hand over his email address.

See it’s not good to say EVERYTHING online. :-)
