Yesterday, the Milan Court filed the judicial reasoning behind the February conviction of three Google executives for violating Italian privacy code, the New York Times reports. In the 111-page document, Judge Oscar Magi said the employees were convicted and sentenced based on Italian law that prohibits the use of someone's personal information with the intent of making a profit. "In simple terms," Magi wrote, "it is not the writing on the wall that constitutes a crime for the owner of the wall, but its commercial exploitation can." Italian lawyer Rocco Panetta told the Daily Dashboard the reasoning confirms "Google had no obligation to filter and/or prior remove the eventual illegal content," nor was this "a case around freedom of speech." Rather, "it was a matter of compliance with laws and regulations dealing with personal data processing currently in force," Panetta said. (Registration may be required to access this story.)
