The way authorities tell it, the rumble between rival football fans was plotted on a popular Google online community website called Orkut.
Brazilian cops monitoring the site wanted the plotters' names so they could stop it.
Google refused to help.
Brazil's human rights prosecutor, Paulo Suiama, gripes "The only Internet company that does not cooperate with authorities is Google Brasil."
After following Google's cooperation with dictatorships who incarcerate citizens for non-violently sharing their thoughts, it seems democracies are at a severe disadvantage when they run up against Google's peculiar interpretation of its "Don't do evil" policy.
Apparently, it's only seriously entertained by Google in the West.
