Google to court in Milan

newgoogle_hadcuffs It is news these days that four executives in Mountain View are threatened with imprisonment, since the trial began on the case where Google is involved, having distributed through Youtube video with bullying toward a boy Down.
Google defends itself by saying: "It is like the pursuit of the postal workers because of threatening letters sent by post"
The issue is complex, because this ruling will be sought to determine roles and responsibilities assets and liabilities: blame the bullies, of course, but also blame Google?
Google is considered as an errand boy, or a newspaper?
That is, Google is responsible for what the community over its entire public system?
And then, Google is required to prevent any problems occurring before posting or it must offer a service to quickly remove a video? Google now operates in 24 hours ...
So many questions to those who to blame and how to avoid repeat.
But I wonder: what was fun to see the bullies pick on a guy Down? What would happen if the whole community had turned against the bullies instead of becoming a top view?

    but all of them go fuck themselves, as you can google for pursuing what the community charge on youtube? recently have thousands of videos are removed or modified, possibly because of a background music covered by copyright (but we're kidding? has a background!), now also report 4 of the division responsible for a youtube video?? but takes issue with the bullies, indeed, have to thank YouTube, because only through him have been able to discover the existence of this video and go back to the bullies.
    So now I sue google because there are videos with mallard flies non-stop profanity-__-

    All comments are correct ... but:
    offensive if a newspaper report information about you, you complain just the same journalist or the newspaper for not doing the necessary checks?

    PS
    Moderated a little tones, avoiding swear words!

    The Done to see information or libelous statements against persons (not in the public interest) reported in a newspaper, is a very different situation.
    The newspaper is written by journalists who have thus an active role in the spread of this offense.
    While systems such as YouTube are made based on user contributions, such as Wikipedia.
    The leaders of Youtube (in this case) can control the material only after its publication, with newspapers before this happens.
    -Then it is impossible (for practical reasons) to force Youtube or similar to submit to a check all material uploaded by users on the network, prior to publication. I think the accusation "pulled by the hair a little bit"

    Exactly ... but the problem is not what we think, but what the law says. And the law can be very articulate and very complex.

    I think the key point relates to the time that Youtube has available for canlcellare content reported by an authority, which is 24 hours.
    Definitely too.
