"Google Inc., the owner of Brazil's most-used online community site, may face a criminal probe for distribution of child pornography and racist materials by its users, lawyers for the attorney general said.
The lawyers, saying Google failed to comply with a court order to turn over information on where the material comes from, said they will ask a federal judge to authorize a police investigation of the Mountain View, California-based company's Brazilian unit. The service, Orkut, is being used to violate Brazilian law, said prosecutors Sergio Suiama and Karen Kahn."
