Google Sued for Allegedly Profiting From Child Porn

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the this-is-what-happens-when-you're-the-biggest-target dept.

skinfaxi writes "Filed in New York, Jeffrey Toback claims Google has made billions by allowing child porn and 'other obscene content' providers to use sponsored links." From the article: "The suit, which claims Google acted negligently and intentionally inflicted emotional distress on the public, requests monetary damages to be determined at trial. It also accuses Google of violating federal statutes relating to child pornography and calls for the court to order that Google cease "advertising, promoting, or distributing" child pornography through its site or otherwise providing any links to such content."

    Do you smell the faintest hint of an MS FUD campaign in the air?

    I'd like to see, just for starters, if anyone associated with MS is a campaign contributor to Tolback. I'd like to know if anyone associated with MS has any previous involvement with this law firm or any of its lawyers. It's not like MS has never before engaged in litigation by proxy.

    Adsense has been in the news an awful lot lately, being portrayed in a negative light. Is Ballmer finally making good on his threats?
