It's interesting to think about the consequences of dissemination of wrong information about yourself online (as a "non-important" person) by a largely well-respected outlet such as Google. As a far-fetched example, it's not uncommon for identity thieves to use a dead person's identity - and if the author applied for a job and the employer Googled her name... you can see where this is heading.
I suspect there might be some liability issues about incorrect information online, perhaps as a result of other cases with more dire consequences than simply not getting a job.
