Author here - Given that I‘m not in the US puts me at a disadvantage. But if you can forward me a good lawyer who is willing to work with me on this, I may give it a shot.
- cwkoss 5y agoI don't think that is necessarily a disadvantage - it could even work to your benefit as most of Google's legal muscle is in the US. Did some googling (lol), was looking for any lawyers who have won successful defamation cases against Google. The top results that were successful suits in non-US jurisdictions (Australia, Japan, Ireland, Hong Kong). Ex. https://www.mondaq.com/australia/libel-defamation/931462/google-is-a-publisher-and-can-be-sued-for-defamation https://www.mondaq.com/australia/libel-defamation/931462/goo... I am not a lawyer, I just find law very interesting. I'd recommend reaching out to a few lawyers that deal with defamation claims in your current jurisdiction to see if they think you have a claim.
