In the first case of its kind, Spain takes Google to court over privacy issues
In the first case of its kind, Spain takes Google to court over privacy issues: "“Etched in the Internet.” It’s a phrase that is more serious than any stone or blood inked parchment.
Googling a person has become the easiest access to his or her identity. In many professions, the impression you make on the Internet is better than a resume. But what happens when the skeletons in our closet- whether deserved or earned by misfortune, come out to haunt us on the Internet?
In Spain this week, the country’s Data Protection Agency filed 90 court orders against Google at the request of individuals who want Google to remove specific links that shed a dim and untruthful light on their past. For example, one case includes a surgeon who was absolved of charges of criminal negligence in 1991. If you were to Google him, you would see a Spanish newspaper reference the original case but not the acquittal.
The National Court heard arguments from both sides on Wednesday. Google argues it is not a publisher, it’s simply an intermediary platform for content and its lawyers are arguing that its publishers who should be responsible for the content."
