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. [1]Google complied. He was arrested
and is [2]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 an 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.
