French Court Orders Google To Block Pictures of Ex-F1 Chief Mosley 180
Virtucon writes "This one goes to the old adage 'closing the stable door after the horse bolted.' A French court on Wednesday ruled that Google must remove from its search results photos of a former Formula One racing chief, Max Mosley, participating in an Nazi-themed orgy. Google could be fined up to 1,000 Euros/day for not complying. What's strange here is that Mosley A) Sued in a French Court B) Didn't go after anybody else other than Google and C) has definitely strange tastes in extracurricular activities. In this day and age it's laughable to think that once your private photos/videos hit the Internet that you have any expectation of reining them in or filtering the embarrassing parts out. Google isn't the only game in town so to speak in terms of Internet search. I wonder if his lawyers checked out Yahoo or WebCrawler?"

I sued there because he could win there.
Welcome to Slashdot, Mr. Mosely.
I'd like to introduce you to a couple of our friends here: Barbra Streisand [wikipedia.org], and the Preview Button.

Nah. Google should just redirect French users to Bing if they search for Max Mosley pics.

To paraphrase Zach and Miri,
If you told me there was a 5 hour video of a 72-year old man getting beaten by 5 hookers, I'd say, "Why aren't we watching that right now!"

I believe it's called "pulling a Mosley". Or if it wasn't, it is now.
