Google in court in Milan

newgoogle_hadcuffs The news these days that four directors of Mountain View risk imprisonment, since the trial began on where Google is involved, having distributed through Youtube video with bullying to a boy with Down syndrome.
Google defends itself by saying: "It's like post office employees to pursue because of threatening letters sent by post"
The issue is complex, because this ruling will be sought to determine roles and responsibilities of active and passive bullies guilty, of course, but also blame Google?
Google is considered a messenger, or a newspaper?
That is, Google is responsible for what the whole community on its public systems?
And then, Google is required to prevent any problems occurring before publishing or to offer a service to quickly erase a video? Google now operates in 24 hours ...
So many questions to those who blame and how to avoid a recurrence.
But I wonder: what was funny to see the bullies pick on a boy Down? What if the whole community had turned against the bullies instead of becoming a top view it?

    but going to fuck everyone, as you can google to achieve what the community office on youtube? already completed thousands of videos are removed or modified because maybe background music covered by copyright (are we kidding? is a background!), now also report 4 of the division responsible for a youtube video?? but gets angry with the bullies, rather, must thank youtube, because only through him could have discovered the existence of this video and go up to bullies.
    So now I sue google because there are videos of mallard flies with curses to no end-__-

    I also bring to justice the Fiat, guilty of selling cars that are then used to commit robberies ... and also those who sell gasoline that allows you to move these cars, and then the owners of autostrede, guilty of moving quickly from such a City 'to another, and so' on ....
    But please!!

    all comments are correct ... but:
    offensive if a newspaper provides information on you, you complain only the journalist or the newspaper itself for not doing its checks?

    PS
    Moderated a little tones, avoiding the bad words!

    Done to see the information or opinions offend people (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 based on your users' input, such as Wikipedia.
    The makers of Youtube (in this case) can control the material only after it is published with the papers before this happens.
    Then-unthinkable (for practical reasons) to force Youtube or similar to subject to control all material uploaded by users on the network, prior to publication. I think the accusation "a bit to pull my hair"

    Small Example: If I remember correctly I could very well write a message on this page offensive comments, a direct insult to a person. I find myself sued by the person I offended, are undoubtedly responsible ...
    -But so are those responsible for this site
    ?!

    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 concerns the time that Youtube has available for canlcellare content reported by an authority, which is 24 hours.
    Definitely too.
