Google is planning on searching for drug cartels and human traffickers? If you had anything you wanted to say to Sergey and Larry, now would probably be a good time to do it.
Drug cartels, money launderers and human traffickers run their sophisticated operations online - and Google Ideas, Google Inc.'s think tank, is working with the Council on Foreign Relations and other organizations to look for ways to use technology to disrupt international crime. Officials from Google and groups that combat illicit networks will meet Tuesday and Wednesday in Westlake Village, Calif., to develop strategies for fighting global crime.
