- knallfrosch 3y agoYou're defaming the plaintiff as greedy. It's not enough be falsely accused of being a pedo for 15 years?
- YawningAngel 3y agoI didn't make any claims about the plaintiff's state of mind. For the record I think the plaintiff acted reasonably and in good faith in seeking a remedy against Google based on what I know about the case.
- vertis 3y agoGiven that this has been going on since 2007 this doesn't seem like the kind of frivilous lawsuit just going after Google's money. In fact it looks like the plaintiff made good faith attempts (and partially successful ones) with Google on a number of occasions.
- bena 3y agoThe man sought $6 million. It was reduced to $500,000 for "moral" damage by the court. Punitive damages were rejected because they believe Google was also acting in good faith.
- vertis 3y agoIf I'd been trying to get Google to do something for 15 years and they kept undoing it I'd believe Google wasn't acting in good faith either.
