Google Cleared from Fraudulent Ringtones Case
Google is not liable for fraudulent
ringtone advertisements on its AdWords platform. The ruling by
District Court Judge Jeremy Fogel states that the federal Communications Decency Act clears
Google from any liability for pay-per-click ads created via AdWords.
"Providing third parties with neutral tools to create web content is considered to be squarely within the protections of [the law]," Fogel writes. "Even if a service provider knows that third parties are using such tools to create illegal content, the service provider's failure to intervene is immunized."
