Google Assists In Arrest Of Indian Man

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the many-shades-of-evil dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After a Google user posted a profane picture of the Hindu saint Shivaji, Indian authorities contacted Google to ask for his IP address. Google complied. He was arrested and is reported to have been beaten by a lathi and asked to use the same bowl to eat and to use in the toilet. Not surprisingly, Google is a keen to play this down as Yahoo is being hauled over the coals by US Congress for handing over IP addresses and emails to the Chinese Government which resulted in a Chinese democracy activist being jailed." Readers are noting that these are 2 unrelated cases — the latter is several months old.

    and asked to use the same bowl to eat and to use in the toilet.

    He was asked? Does that mean it was optional? I don't know about this guy, but I'd lean towards "No."

    .The motto is not "do no evil," it is "don't be evil.

    Apparently they need to change it to

    Do no evil*

    *void where prohibited by law or the financial interests of our stockholders

    I can't understand why Google helped them, it's not like it was a big deal. Just like all the bullshit because of those Mohammed pictures over here in scandinavia, I mean who gives a fuck? It's just an imaginary fictional character anyway. Personally I'd be willing to draw 50 Mohammeds or Shivajis eating their own shit for each complaint on them. (Or Jesus for all I care, or may I say it _YOUR MOM_ to whoever reads this :D)

    Who cares, it's just a picture, feel free to answer with imageshack links of your drawings of me.
