Germany's Former First Lady Sues Google
quax writes "Bettina Wulff faces an uphill battle for her reputation. Her husband had to resign as Germany's president due to corruption allegations and has many detractors. Apparently some of them started a character assassination campaign against his wife. At least that is, if you trust serious journalists who looked into the matter and stated that it is made up. Unfortunately though for Bettina Wulff, the rumors took off on the Internet. Now whenever you enter her name Google suggest the additional search terms 'prostitute' and 'escort.' Google refuses to alter its search index."
Google works extremely well, but I wish there was an alternative that worked as well as google does. People is too much invested in google, and this is not good. Google is too big and old to not be evil any more...
They can do like they do in Argentina, anything negative about Argentina, mainly Hand of God Maradona, Google has removed from local searches, because there is a lawyer in Argentina who keeps them tied up in court. Hmmm, do I see a pattern, Germany not wanting to remember the holocaust, Argentina, large German expat population, doesn't want their dirty laundry in public... Que pesar.
