Not long after the promotion, Hohagen signed a term of behavior adjustment with federal prosecutors to cooperatives in the Fight Against pedophilia on the Internet. Google's social network, Orkut, which was very popular at the time in Latin America, had quickly been overrun by child pornography. Hohagen's act of signing the Conduct Adjustment Term not only showed Google's commitment to Brazilian law, but also Hohagen's commitment to eradicating online pedophilia.
