Week 38 of POOP

It's finally happening!

Because Google won't fix the ongoing issues with reposting people's copyrighted posts, there's now serious rumblings of a class action lawsuit against Google.

This isn't just about Google's refusal to fix its post removal tool. This is also about the fact that snippets of posts that were supposedly deleted long ago still appear in search results - which has been going on for at least 2 years with no fix in sight.

One user said, "I believe it could be time for a class action lawsuit to be filed in a jurisdiction which isn't impaired by the so-called (and grossly misnamed) Communications Decency Act. ... IOW, in a jurisdiction in which ISPs can be held accountable for negligence."

That could be any state that has the guts to pass its own laws specifically allowing ISP's to be held accountable. Problem is, the states have been run by such wusses that they let Newt Gingrich swing his hairy cock anywhere he wanted to.

In other words, the scuzzo Telecommunications Act of 1996 strikes again - and we all end up paying the price.
