Google slanders

Court Tokyo considered the claim, according to which an unnamed resident of Japan, linked his dismissal and the subsequent difficulties in finding a new job that dogged him for several years, so that when you enter its name into the search engine Google, the choice of the user is offered several ready Query the name of men in conjunction with a variety of crimes. The plaintiff claims that none of them he did not commit and has no idea of ​​the reason why Google offenses linked to his name.





Japanese Court granted the petition, banning corporations use AutoComplete in search engine queries. However, Google refused to comply with the court's decision, saying that the company is located in the United States and subject to US law. Request hints are given automatically generated based on the requests of other users. For this reason, queries can meet frank nonsense and very unexpected words. Remove tips that appear when you type the name of the unfortunate Japanese Google does not become, despite the latter's request. However, the company noted that the mandatory deleted requests that contain pornography or hate speech, as well as infringing, or resort to violence.

The Japanese do not exclude that in the near future will sue new claim. This time he will require an American corporation financial compensation for the problems that the search engine has created in his life and career. Perhaps his attempt will succeed because the precedent has already been created in December 2011, Google has paid EUR 50 000 French insurance companies: when you enter the company name in a search engine first offered to request a hint with the word "cheater."
