Seek review of ruling on non-consensual intimate pics: HC to Google, MS

The Delhi High Court on Monday asked Microsoft, which owns 'Bing', and Google to seek a review of an order by a single judge directing them to identify and de-index non-consensual intimate images without requesting for their specific URLs, after the search engine giants filed an appeal against the ruling. The senior counsel for the appellants said unlike in cases of child sexual abuse material, non-consensual intimate images cannot be detected by their current technology and therefore it was not possible for them to comply with the order passed by the single judge in April 2023. Their senior lawyers assured the court a new technology is being developed but it has not yet reached a stage where it can detect such non-consensual content on its own. They said the search engines do not "host" any content, and once an objectionable content has been removed from the site hosting it, it will not appear in search results as well. Stating that "no one can ask you to do the impossible", a ben

Google, DoJ lawyers to present closing arguments in antitrust case

Lawyers for both the Department of Justice and Google will present arguments on Thursday and Friday to conclude the biggest antitrust case in a quarter century. In closing arguments of a Washington, DC, trial that began last September, regulators will apply the finishing touches to a case alleging Google has turned its search engine into an illegal monopoly that stifles competition and innovation. Regulators claim that Google competed unfairly when it made lucrative deals with Apple and other companies to automatically lock its search engine into smartphones and web browsers. Meanwhile, Google maintains that consumers use its dominant search engine because it is the best available option. Google pays more than USD 10 billion per year for these privileged positions,' argued Kenneth Dintzer, the Justice Department's lead litigator, last September.
