India Probing Google, Yahoo for Possible Forex Rule Violation - WSJ.com

I strongly suspect that some journalist who has put up the case against Google AND Yahoo, is a small time lackey. Someone who is just a front for this diabolical Government.

The latest charges on money laundering are just to get the worried executives embroiled in court cases and make them access the data.

This has happened because there is a rise in the mobile internet users, facebook applications and email with both these companies. Money laundering is perhaps the easiest charge that they can bring on to stick to them.

I exhort the users to move away from Google and it's properties. I have extensively outlined the way to ensure your privacy.

While the government official didn't provide details of the latest notices to Google and Yahoo, the Press Trust of India reported Friday, citing unnamed sources that the finance ministry division is probing whether Google violated local rules on foreign-exchange transactions while transferring funds to its foreign entities, including to Ireland, and investments from abroad.

The notices are the latest legal tangles for U.S. companies in what is a fast-growing market for Web consumption. Both Google and Yahoo, along with 21 social networking websites including of Facebook, have been embroiled in legal cases in at least two different courts in New Delhi for what the complainants say is objectionable content on their websites. Google last week told one of the two Indian courts--following a complaint by an individual Ajiaz Arshad Qasmi--that it has removed some "controversial content" from its Indian services to comply with a court order in a civil lawsuit.

There are many alternatives to Google. (Duckduckgo/ixquick/clusty). Look for an independent email service provider (Fastmail). Avoid Yahoo/Google for anything.

Beware users. Beware. The Big brother is watching you.
