I don't see how it's either, since auto-complete is based on what people are entering as search terms. It's the result of an algorithm, not a human. Algorithms have no sense of morality, they just do what they're told. You might as well say a car slandered you for backfiring as it drove by. Also... he doesn't own an exclusive right to the name 'Guy Hingston'.
In short, Mr. Hingston -- screw you. Also... Guy Hingston Bankrupt Guy Hingston Bankrupt Guy Hingston Bankrupt. I hope you do for having such a piss-po
I came here to say this. Aren't the real perpetrators the news organisations who have clearly published stories regarding his bankruptcy resulting in poison auto-correct searches?
Maybe he'd be better off paying for some news-worthy publicity for his surgery to alter his results, or contact the papers and have them revise their wording?
As a fellow Australian, I can quite comfortably say that Guy Hingston is a complete f$#king moron if he thinks this is the right way to deal with this.
Maybe he'd be better off paying for some news-worthy publicity for his surgery to alter his results, or contact the papers and have them revise their wording?
...yeah that won't eventually evolve into a tidy form of blackmail will it?
All your negative bullshit ends up in the search engines so that you'll be willing to pay for something positive to try to offset it all...
