---- Website found liable for Google-generated page summary

A Dutch judge has ruled that a website is liable for a Google-generated page description, or "snippet", that may or may not give the false impression that a local BMW dealer has gone bankrupt.

[theregister.co.uk...]

Translated snippet:

Complete name: Zwartepoorte Specialiteit: BMW...This company has been declared bankrupt, it has been acquired by the motordealer I have worked for Boat Rialto...

According to Zwartepoorte, this snippet indicated it had gone bankrupt. But it hadn't gone bankrupt. So it sued the owner of the webpage.
