A line is finally 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.

Self-represented! (admittedly only on the home stretch when she ran out of money to pay lawyers)

On ABC radio 702 with Josh Szeps today she said that the dodgy aggregator (of reviews) web site charges ten of thousands of dollars to remove defamatory info (and they won’t even do it if you don’t live in USA - I don’t get that part).

Google don’t care to blacklist it even after she won her first case. Even after this second win/settlement and 10,000 complaints it still is not blacklisted.

Australia’s first eSafety commissioner, Alastair MacGibbon, was also interviewed and says privacy laws in Europe (“the rIght to be forgotten”) mean she could have just insisted she be removed from the defamatory listing and not gone to court.
