This is news from Argentina.

Basically it says that a model from Argentina sued Google 2 years ago, Google acted like nothing happened and now they have they assets hold for $AR 746000 (around $250,000) plus an embargo on all trademarks they have in Argentina, including Google.com.ar.

The model asked Google to remove any result that could include her in relation with sex pages (basically she was listed on celeb pages which displayed sex banners, chat, dating and such), they went to courts and Google was ordered to remove all her results and pay $1000 per day until they do that. Google said "fuck off" and now they're under embargo.

To make it worse, this is not the only case they have, but many latin american stars, mostly represented by the same law firm, are suing or already sued Google. The lawyer said they already won between 40 and 50 cases against Google and Yahoo. Last month another model got $86400 from Yahoo for the same reason.

Google representative said "We're not guilty, the company is not responsible for the content, but the site owners".

On a TV show, the lawyer said they were contacted by several law firms around the world to act on their behalf representing many international stars, and that they set a precedent for internet legal responsabilities
