IAPP - International Association of Privacy Professionals - Privacy
professional facing criminal charges
Google's global privacy counsel will appear in Italian court this week
on criminal charges of defamation and failure to exercise control over
personal data. The charges follow a two-year investigation by Italian
authorities into footage uploaded onto Google Video that showed a
disabled teen being disparaged by peers. Google's Paris-based Global
Privacy Counsel Peter Fleischer and three other executives charged in
the case will appear before the Criminal Court of Milan on February 3.
The charges carry a maximum sentence of 36 months.
It is believed to be the first criminal sanction ever pursued against
a privacy professional for his company's actions.
