search engine loses defamation and ordered to pay $ 200,000 for defamation online

Google must be quicker to remove the defamatory content, at least in Australia, after losing a $ 200,000 libel there. The decision could strengthen the position of Lord McAlpine, if the Conservative Party, which won the colonies of ? 185,000 and ? 125,000 from the BBC and ITV, respectively, decided to attack the search engine below.

Google so far relied on court decisions that released from any liability for defamation that providing search results automatically by algorithms, not responsible for content product online using the search engine. In England, the courts have agreed with this analysis so far in the case earlier this year sieve Justice Eady said that Google should not be treated as the publisher.

However, the history of Australia's most successful libel litigant may give Google and other search engines pause for reflection. Milorad Trkulja, a music promoter, has taken action against Google in the online material relating to the offenses in Melbourne. Trkulja never been involved in any criminal activity, but had the misfortune of being killed in a restaurant in 2004.

His lawyers wrote to Google in October 2009 asking the offending material, which included a series of images, which is removed, but not received a reply saying that according to Google's policy on elimination Content you should contact the owner of that site instead.

So we stick to the defense of his service in the Australian court ruled. The case is not mandatory for a court in the UK, but can make a change in the way judges are looking for in the search engines and providers of platforms and can have serious consequences for companies like Google and its users.

Australian If the decision is taken by the courts in other parts of the search engines and platform providers will be much faster to process requests to take material when contacted a potential complainant and will be more receptive to requests for reduction links to defamatory content if your "not ours, please contact the webmaster" The response to the opening of responsibility.

For those of us who have posted material that could mean a more hostile legal landscape. The lesson is that, not only to see what people say online search engines, you must do the same.
