Google to court in Milan

newgoogle_hadcuffs It is news these days that four executives of Mountain View in danger of imprisonment, since the trial began on the case in which Google was involved, having distributed through Youtube video with bullying toward a boy Down.
Google defends itself by saying: "It's like pursuing post office employees because of threatening letters sent by post"
The issue is complex, because in this judgment will 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 clear quickly 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 so funny 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 going to fuck everyone, as you can google for pursuing what the community upload on youtube? recently have thousands of videos are removed or modified, possibly because of a background music covered by copyright (but we're kidding? is a background!), now also report 4 of the division responsible for a youtube video?? but if the take with bullies, indeed, have to thank YouTube, because only through him could they discover the existence of this video and go back to the bullies.
    So now I sue google because there are videos of mallard flies with oaths not to end-__-

    I would bring to court also, Fiat, guilty of selling cars that are then used to commit robbery ... and then 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:
    if a newspaper riportasse offensive information about you, you denuncereste only journalist or even the newspaper itself for not doing the necessary checks?

    PS
    Moderiamo a little tones, avoiding the bad 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 thereby an active role in spreading this offenses.
    While systems like Youtube are based directly on user contributions, such as Wikipedia.
    The makers of Youtube (in this case) can control the material only AFTER its release, with the papers before this happens.
    -Then it is impossible (for practical reasons) to force Youtube or similar to subject to control all the material uploaded by users on the network, prior to publication. I believe the accusation, "pulled by the hair a little bit"

    Small Example: If I remember correctly I might as well write a post offensive comments on this page, a direct injury to a person. I find myself sued by the person offended by me-are undoubtedly responsible for ...
    -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 complex and very complex.

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