Sued! Google, stand in 10 years!?

Google convicted of defaming French user 'by linking his name to rape in searches'

A convicted man, after three-years imprisoned, discovered his name was linked by the search function to the phrases, including "rapist", "satanist", "rape," and "prison".

The court ruled the man had been defamed because he is considered innocent under French law until all of his appeals have been exhausted. The ruling confirmed the search function was not illegal. However, it was ordered to pay damages to the man after he sued for libel 5,000 euros (£4254) in costs. As well, Google was ordered to remove the "harmful" suggestions from the search and adopt measures to prevent it from reoccurring.

It is believed Google has been facing enormous numbers of lawsuits worldwide. The industry involved online has grown massively during the past years along with more regulations in this fast-moving modern age. Will Google sustain its leader position or even its survival in the next 10 years?
