Who gets to decide what is harmful? Do you simply defer to the courts?
Do you think Google holds a larger, equal, or smaller responsibility than the content provider who is actually hosting this "harmful" information?
In this case, I don't see anyone at fault and don't think a crime has been committed. The data presented was true and of public record.
I would see a case if Google was somehow treating this man as a special case and only indexing negative things about him, or if google treated his publicly available data differently than any other person's
- gress 12y agoThe responsibility could be measured in how much exposure each site gave to the information. Who gets to decide what is harmful is indeed generally decided by courts. I agree that it shouldn't be a special case. Google does discriminate based on how much other information about a person is posted online - someone with a lot of professional info online will look better than someone who doesn't used the internet much and so only these public records appear against their name in search. That is a dangerous form of discrimination.
