Orkut bans 'Indian Mujahideen' community
Google spokesperson says company condemns illegal activities.

New Delhi:: Following the serial blasts in the national capital on September 13, Google’s social networking site Orkut on Thursday banned a community named as ‘Indian Mujahideen’.

“Google strongly condemns illegal activities and those that encourage terrorism and violence,” says a Google spokesperson.

“We take abuse on Orkut very seriously as such activities diminish the experience for our users," the spokesperson adds.

Indian Mujahideen, the terror outfit that had claimed responsibility for the July 26 Ahmedabad blasts, said it had carried out the serial blasts in Delhi as well, in an email to media organisations.

"The communities and profiles indulging in illegal activities are a clear violation of our terms and condition,” the Google spokesperson says.

“We treat requests from law enforcement agencies, coming in through the appropriate legal process, with priority in terms of reviewing them and take prompt and effective action if the content report violates our terms of service that prohibit illegal activity,” he adds.

On Orkut, one can find various communities dedicated to areas like environment, education, health, peace, poverty, educational institutions and cultural and religious groups as well.
