Default Google challenged in India

The Asia Times has a good article that discusses the ongoing legal battle that Google is facing in India:

Quote:
In the Mumbai case, Dr Ashwin Mehta, one of India's leading cardiologists, first complained against Google in 2008. He told the Mumbai court that the Google blogs had caused "incalculable harm and injury to his name, fame, standing and reputation".
Quote:
The blogs were removed following a Mumbai court order in 2008. But Google India filed an appeal against the order two months ago, saying that its blog-hosting company cannot constantly monitor everything posted on its blogs. The Mumbai High Court heard Google India's appeal on June 23, but refused to grant a stay on the earlier court order. The next hearing is to be held on July 7.

Some tough issues there.

It would be ridiculous if Google were held liable for this sort of thing. They are just a convenient "deep pocket" to sue...

At least someone has shown courage to stand up and fight for his right. If a platform is used to defame a person - the provider does have the responsibility as well to ensure that their platform is not misused for defaming someone!
