Many users think it is their birth right to use the space for hurting others. The violators forget that by their action they are disrespecting the privacy and freedom of the victims. It is therefore correct to put a reign on Orkut. It is unfotunate that in India we need to take the long winding route of approaching the CERT every time such violations take place. While "banning" may not the ideal solution, it is a necessary threat at least as a measure to remove the incentives available for Orkut to continue promotion of illegal activities.
