The Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (PCI) of Pedophilia, installed in the Senate, approved today unanimously the confidentiality breach of 3,261 profiles of Orkut’s users, one of Google services, including data and albums of photos that have child pornography. Google has until the day on April 23rd to provide this data.

According to the Prosecutor’s office of the Republic in the State of Sao Paulo, Orkut is responsible for about 90% of disseminating child pornography on the network, and the other 10% are disseminated through instantaneous communication tools(instant messenger), and chats rooms.

The prosecutor of the Republic in the State of Sao Paulo, Sergio Suiama said today in testimony to the CPI, that Google is creating difficulty for the verification of crimes on Orkut. One of them would be the practice of “delete” pages with content of child pornography when taking knowledge of the problem, disabling, thus, the knowledge of the facts by the authorities and maintenance of evidence against users who practice this type of crime.

The President of Google in Brazil, Alexandre Hohagen, undertook today with the Brazilian authorities to cooperate for the identification, punishment and prevention of sexual crimes against children on the site of relationships Orkut. Hohagen attended a public hearing in the CPI.

The Group of Combat of Crimes in the Cyberspace of the Federal Prosecutor in Sao Paulo (MPF-SP) gave 48 hours to the company Google Brazil informs which of the 3,261 photo albums of Orkut with content blocked by users reported by the NGO Safernet contains pictures of child pornography. The notification was sent to Hohagen and the deadline was closed on April 9th.
