Irish Judge Orders 'The Internet' To Delete Video 243
New submitter edanto writes "A young Irish man wrongly accused of jumping from a taxi without paying the fare has secured a judgement from an Irish court ordering the video removed from the entire Internet. Experts from Google, Youtube, Facebook, and others must tell the court in two weeks if this is technically possible. The thing is, the video is accurate, it is only a comment that wrongly identified Eoin McKeogh as the fare-jumper in the video that is inaccurate. It's not clear if the judge has made any orders about the comment."

Stupid judge, you can't order that, you ignorant ninny...
By the powers vested in me, by myself, I hereby order you (the ninny) to stop breathing now and forever. You may be using oxygen I'll need later in my life.
It's only wasted on you.

Now if that judge was located in the US, then he could have had it deleted from the entire Internet.

There should be an authority that can prevent Slashdot from being trolled by a summary that seems to have no basis in the original story. We could call this hypothetical super-being an editor.

... Ireland has a crappy enough job market as it is, without punishing the companies who are there for something like this...
Clearly - people can't even afford to pay their taxi fares.
