I think it does up the ante. If a Google employee (or anyone who doesn't like him really) could catch him in a lie his reputation would be damaged as he is a "public figure".
On the other hand if you caught me in a lie... well only around 5-6 people know who I am and I copied this nick off another bloke on a different forum because I thought it was cool. So it wouldn't really bother me.
- danielweber 13y agoWhether he's a public figure is debatable (the Wiki article gives a good summary of the questions we'd need), but all it means for a defamation suit is that Google would not have to prove malice. There would be many other hurdles to clear. IANAL.
