Google execs sentenced to prison in privacy scandal - has the whole world gone crazy?

Earlier today, an Italian judge decided three Google executives were at fault over the submission of an offensive video on Google Video Italia. The alleged violation of privacy for an autistic child seen beaten in the video was placed at the feet of Google as a content provider, and six months of (assuredly commuted) jailtime has been handed out as a result. As you can imagine, this has some far reaching repercussions on the internet as a whole.

The horrendous video was first uploaded in 2006, and quickly removed after it was flagged as offensive content. In it, several delinquent students are seen bullying and beating a student with Down Syndrome. Despite the executives having nothing to do with the video besides it appearing on their site, a Down Syndrome support group called Vivi Down protested the fact that it had even been allowed to be uploaded in the first place. A long investigation followed, the result of which is a guilty verdict for Google.

Italian law allows Internet Service Providers to exist free from legal obligations to people who use their service, but internet content providers are held liable. With Google Video, Google sees itself as providing a service and falling into the first category. The ruling from Judge Oscar Magi sentences them because it judges them to be in the latter one.

To sum up Google's reaction in a sentence, after they picked up their jaws from the floor, goes something like this: "the Web as we know it will cease to exist [with the passing of this ruling]". Seriously, that's a quote from a response in their blog. If Google Video is responsible for all content it "publishes," then so too is YouTube, Blogger, Facebook and Twitter - this ruling would mean pretty much the end of social content in Italy.

Reading this today, I couldn't help but think of similar stories of individual countries regulating their internet in places like Australia, France, and of course China. Continuously, I find myself waffling back and forth between accepting that countries should be allowed to regular their own internet how they please, and wondering if the whole world has just gone crazy, and nobody remembers the rules anymore. The internet has opened up global doors for good and for bad - personally, I think the former far outweighs the latter - and all these oddball rules mean more fracturing and more splintering. I mean, is the goal to leave our children a world where there is a different "internet" for every country, instead of the one glorious one we have today? If the owners of, say, the next Wikipedia happen to be born in Italy, will they never bother to bring their idea to light, because they're worried about violating their country's version of the internet?

For now anyway, Google will be appealing within the EU.

    Who can oppose the idea of privacy policy and I think they took an important step towards this. It is good idea to create a privacy policy so user can not worry if he thinks his/her privacy is collected.

    Once something is being entered in the Internet, it can never be erased. You may have deleted it from where you have posted it or seen it, but that doesn't mean that it has been totally eliminated. Something which is uploaded in the Internet or something posted controversial; it can spread in in seconds.

    Never expect to have something totally deleted once it has entered into the Internet. A lot of people are using the internet every second, so it should be expected that a person or individuals might have saved a copy of it.

  • By: medical billing and coding online Aug 26, 2010 4:57 PM

    Once something is posted in the Internet, deleting it can never totally eliminate it. Internet is a very wide ground where there are lots of corners or places where anything can settle once entered. So even if that video was deleted, you can never expect that it can no longer be seen. Somebody might have kept a copy and this is really expected in the world of Internet.

  • By: Pete Aug 15, 2010 1:40 AM

    That is insane, how on Earth can website be ultimately responsible for the content uploaded by the users. What the Italians are effectively saying is that all websites should be static one-way affairs with no interaction. A ruling obviously passed by some old timer who doesn't even know how to use email.

    I'm mixed on this issue. I can understand people being upset that this video even made it on Google, but they did take it down soon after. It's tough to regulate every video and it takes the community's help in making sure that a video like this doesn't stay long on the web. It just seems a little harsh for having nothing involved and doing the best they can to have it removed immediately. The person who published it should be at fault.

    If Google Video is responsible for all content it "publishes," then so too is YouTube, Blogger, Facebook and Twitter.

    Jay, I donât believe software has a nationality. And the concept of a âU.S.-based vendorâ of software lots of tips, is meaningful only to tax accountants and immigration lawyers.

    But just for the sake pes patch, of discussion, why not publish your list of disdained American software.

    Wow. What a case. Itâs a wonder that there havenât been more like it, but then, as you mentioned, if everyone was sued for everything âbadâ that was posted on the internet, there would be no youtube, facebook, twitter, etc. By trying to crack down on social networking youâre destroying peopleâs individual rights (though this is subjective depending on the country).

    A long investigation followed, the result of which is a guilty verdict for Google.

    The goal here should be punished to prevent further publication.

    Seriously, that's a quote from a response in their blog. If Google Video is responsible for all content it "publishes," then so too is YouTube, Blogger, Facebook and Twitter - this ruling would mean pretty much the end of social content in Italy.

    I think the former far outweighs the latter â and all these oddball rules mean more fracturing and more splintering. Kaizen

    No matter what country this kind of video hosting services provided by the company to move quickly with the public must be prevented from release. The goal here should be punished to prevent further publication.

    It seems Google is going to withdraw its services from Italy like what happened in China. I do not understand that law I mean when internet service providers are free her of any legal obligations then why not internet content providers like google where content is uploaded by users and not google. In this case, google can be termed as internet service provider if they have to follow the law. There are millions of videos uploaded to youtube so they cannot really check each video before making it live. I think Italy needs to think over these and also whether they want the people of Italy to take advantage of web 2.0 unlike China.
