記事 : 「Man Sues Google for Harmful Search Results and Wins」

Google上で、謝った情報が流出したとして、Googleが訴えられ、敗訴したという記事です。
厳しい判決とも取れますが、情報を正確に扱う責務がある為、致し方無しでしょうか。
考えさせられます。


Milorad Trkulja, an Australian entertainment promoter, recently won a defamation lawsuit against Google.

Trkulja was shot in the back eight years ago. After this incident, Google Search results of his name started showing links to websites that incorrectly connect Trkulja to Australian mobsters.

In 2009, Trkulja’s lawyer asked Google to remove the search results. Trkulja accused Google of defamation because Google displays websites with harmful information about him on its search engines.

The Australian court took Trkulja’s side in the lawsuit. Judge David Beach said that even though Google did not own the websites, the search engine was still liable because it was the publisher of the incriminating links. Judge Beach ordered Google to pay 200,000 Australian dollars (US$208,760) to Trkulja.

Judge Beach compared Google to someone who sells newspapers with offensive content. Although the seller does not write defamatory news articles, the seller still knows there is false information and allows others to see it.

The judge’s decision could mean trouble for Google. If Google can be held responsible for any wrong information found through its search engines, lawsuits against the company could increase.

Previously, Trkulja had sued Yahoo! for similar reasons. He won 225,000 Australian dollars from that lawsuit. Google’s loss might have also been influenced by this earlier event.

Google is appealing to the court to have the order reconsidered.
