A website named KinderStart has sued Google for downgrading its site ranking to a’zero’.
The case has been filed in the court of federal judge, Jeremy Fogel to determine whether Google has defamed the website by leaving it out of its search range or whether Google has the right to choose rankings of the site.
KinderStart a small parenting website is alleging that this is not just defamation but violation of freedom of speech and libel in its lawsuit.
The judge has said that it will need at least a year to decide on whether to go ahead with the case or to dismiss it. The Google’s lawyer has said that this is a case that challenges Google’s very right to operate. It is not a case about KinderStart’s free speech.
