Google executives convicted in Italy of violating privacy laws over bullying video
24th February 2010
Prosecutors in Milan brought the case after being contacted by charity Viva Down and argued that the boys privacy had been violated and that Google should have removed the footage quicker than it eventually did.
I’m trying to come up with some plausible excuse for an Italian court to have jurisdiction over three suits in California, and I’m not finding one. Apparently the boys that did the bullying are the alleged victims; that doesn’t say much good about the Italians.
