French Court Orders Google To Block Pictures of Ex-F1 Chief Mosley
Virtucon writes "This one goes to the old adage 'closing the stable door after the horse bolted.' A French court on Wednesday ruled that Google must remove from its search results photos of a former Formula One racing chief, Max Mosley, participating in an Nazi-themed orgy. Google could be fined up to 1,000 Euros/day for not complying. What's strange here is that Mosley A) Sued in a French Court B) Didn't go after anybody else other than Google and C) has definitely strange tastes in extracurricular activities. In this day and age it's laughable to think that once your private photos/videos hit the Internet that you have any expectation of reining them in or filtering the embarrassing parts out. Google isn't the only game in town so to speak in terms of Internet search. I wonder if his lawyers checked out Yahoo or WebCrawler?"
He is the son of Oswald -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_Mosley so that is good CV material to start with
In TFA, it says that Moseley won $96,000 in a lawsuit against the infamous News of the World who published the photos. Not that I agree the decision is correct against Google, but the summary is a little lacking.
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Yep, I never would have even thought of looking for it until I read about the lawsuit. Now of course I just had to see it. Not hard to find, by the way: here

They take those down on a case-by-case basis, by request. They aren't presented with a standing fine that will occur for each and every instance that ever happens in the future
