Model sues Google

THE Argentine Supreme Court heard arguments on Thursday demanding that Google take down links between pornographic websites and a model suing the Internet giant because she is not a sex worker.

Maria Belen Rodriguez, 30, launched a battle against Google and Yahoo eight years ago over search engine links to pornographic websites that showed non-erotic photographs of her.

Two years ago, Yahoo complied but not Google, which was fined 42,000 pesos (US$5,200). Rodriguez is demanding more than US$37,000.

A civil court had previously ruled in favor of the model but dropped the fine to US$6,200. Some websites showed images of Rodriguez surrounded by pornographic images while a click on her name linked to pornographic images of women on other sites.
