Google Says Italian Conviction at Odds with EU Law

An Italian court's ruling that Google executives violated the privacy of an individual via a YouTube video is "at complete odds" with a European law that protects service providers, said Rachel Whetstone, Google Inc.'s vice president for public policy and communications. An Italian judge convicted three Google officials of violating the privacy of a disabled boy by allowing a video of students bullying him to appear on Google's YouTube site.
