Hood: Google still not effectively fighting crime

Hood: Google still not effectively fighting crime

Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood is again asking Google to do more to prevent people from using the search engine to find illegal drugs and pirated videos, music and games.

Hood, as chairman of the intellectual property committee of the National Association of Attorneys General, has dogged the Internet giant for most of 2013. He said Google does not adequately respond to his concerns, and he hasn’t ruled out suing the company.

Google, based in Mountain View, Calif., says it’s combating the problems Hood is worried about.
