The spam and sexually explicit material on Orkut just keeps spreading. It was before limited to just hateful communities but now it has turned into a full fledged porn site. There are fake profiles all over with luring names having 100 + scraps all asking if they can meet up or hook up. The albums is strewn will crude images of women and often with fakes of celebrities. Scrap books are full of forwards , ASCII arts or totally pointless scraps. Not to mention the number of links pointing to malware websites are posted. To say Orkut is a social networking website is soon going to turn into a misnomer. With such high levels of spam and fake profiles I feel Orkut should shut down for a couple of days and seriously think about imposing restriction to freely available material. Google, which has been so interested in blocking website containing malware and reporting phishing should look internally and see the dirt they are breeding.

The users of the subcontinent are also to be blamed in this. It is after all the users who encourage such activities. It is my earnest request people, Please flag [ use this button : ] such profiles and communities.. If you want to look at porn simply go to appropriate websites. Orkut is a social networking website where people come to connect with their friends. Small children often stumble upon such lewd content and start indulging in various activities after that which is very distracting at such an age.

The media is going crazy and so are political parties. I know that most of them are creating a huge hue and cry about trivial issues without most of them raising a much graver topic such as this, but it is time Google checked this issue before it goes out of hand. It certainly is going to be a huge embarrassment for them is this blows up. Some one has to take the first step and I wish that it is we users who take it. So from today please make a habit to mark all objectionable material and and discourage all such activities.
