Italian Prosecutors Seek Prison Sentences For Google Execs
angry tapir writes "Milan prosecutors have sought prison sentences ranging from six months to one year for four Google executives accused of violating Italy's privacy laws over the posting of a video showing the bullying of a handicapped teenage boy. The prosecutor's request was backed up by a request by lawyers representing the Milan city council for €300,000 (US$452,000) in moral and material damages. The case concerns the posting on Google Video of a three-minute mobile-phone video showing a handicapped boy being tormented by his classmates in a Turin school."
"Retarded Italian Prosecutors v Google airing retarded Italians" Happy TG E
Also Ironic, that they haven't actually done anything about the incident, to make sure the kid is okay; instead, they just go after a corporation.
"Think of The Children" really is an excuse.
If our elected representatives no longer represent us, do we still live in a Democracy?
Because Americans are all dumb. And fat.
Uh, maybe because George Bush is white? Duh. Maybe I'm just not aware of the long standing racial stereotype of white men looking like apes (and with Bush it probably has more to do with his intellect than anything else). Also the Michelle Obama picture is from stormfront.org, which probably didn't help matters much.
And again, the US is quite the "police state" with the Patriot Act and some of the crazy "security" measures that have been put in place since 9/11. Are you really that blinkered, or do you just enjoy being a hypocrite?
Well, first of all, let's see. Not a single terrorist attack against US civilians on US soil since September 11, 2001. Almost seems as if the Patriot Act is working. Of course for you tin foil hat wearers, it was just a nefarious plot to put us all into slavery. Only thing is, not a single part of my life has changed in any way here in the United States since it was enacted. The Patriot Act was put into effect to help uncover plots being perpetrated against the American people and interests. So far, it's working great.
I have been to Europe, Canada, and Mexico. I assure you, the US is by far the freest country of all the ones I have seen. The only things I see you people bitch about are the very things that are specifically targeted at groups that would actually do us harm. Contrast that with the goings on in Europe. Free speech is a joke when you can't debate history. Now, that's hypocritical.
