    Man claims Google associates him with porn

    A case started in an Illinois district court against Google, with the plaintiff alleging its search engine associated him with pornography and worse.

    Alex Petrov said in his filing that ?Google is posting or showing sexually exploitative, homosexual, pornographic material grouped with my name 'Alex Petrov' and creating a false link and connection between aforementioned activities and said name.?

    i think he has a point. when you image search Alex Petrov

    I bet his family, friends and business contacts were quite surprised. I can hear it now

    "I am NOT a gay pornstar!...No I'm seriously NOT...hunny....hunny?"

          that guy contacted me recently asking me to remove his name from a page with a gay pornstar on it because when he searched his name on google my site came up. I did but explained about there being more than one alex petrov , i also said i can't control what google does and if he wanted to be mad he should be mad at google seems like he took my advice.

              Maybe he should just give up and do gay porn?
              But really I can almost maybe kinda see the point he's trying to make, yet I don't see a court being able to upend the internet for that

                He should just accept that he is gay. Google is never wrong.

                  I only get one thumbnail of some dudes kissing, and a bunch of other people, and a lion too. I hope nobody mistakes him for the lion.

                      I have a friend of mine who is a model and her real name got associated with her work, and when you do a search under her real name nothing but porn comes up. Not hardcore, but still when she's going for a job and they google her the first thing they see is her naked pix. Not good from an HR standpoint.

                      Not much you can do about it. Unless you own your name. I share my name with a real estate agent in Hawaii and also a doctor. Go figure.

                        I had a similar case when a US pastor named Paul Markham complained that his congregation might think he was the owner of my site.

                        I told him if his congregation thought that they were either morons or didn't think of him very highly. But could he post a notice in his church stating that Paul Markham Teens wasn't his work.

                        He kept moaning asking me to take down the sites.

                        Eventually I told him to

                                Senator Rick Santorum has a similar issue when you search for his name
