Report: Italy charges Google officials over taunting video
The case centers on allegations Google did not take steps to prevent a third party from posting video on its site that shows a teenager with Down syndrome being taunted by other teens.
Italian authorities were set to charge the individuals back in July. Prosecutors have since filed the charges and a hearing date for February has been set, Reuters said.
According to reports back in July, those to be charged were the former chairman of Google Italy, a former Google Italy board member, the former head of Google Video for Europe, and an executive responsible for European privacy policy.
Google representatives were not immediately available for comment.

Same way that a picture of myself taken outside of my home can be uploaded, and I cannot do JACK **** to keep it from being posted by law.

- Dont worry about being bitter..... you'll be bitter when you come to find your hard earned money stolen from you and given to your neighbor who lounges around the couch all day long and does nothing. Or.... is that you, yourself that does nothing? Hmmm.
