A line has been finally been drawn under an Adelaide woman's 12 year legal battle against global tech giant Google after she sued the company twice, mostly unrepresented – and won.
The issue was Google refusing to remove defamatory content upon request, not them scraping and indexing the internet.
Google allow sites to tell Google crawler to not index them.
Google also removes various content that is against copyright laws.
But Google refuses to honor requests to remove defamatory content.
The same thing is happening with LLMs now as they generate defamatory fiction and several “AI” companies are being sued for it.
