mikesd81 writes "PC World has an article about Google waiting for confirmation that four employees will face charges in Italy for failing to stop the publishing of a video of a disabled teenager being bullied. The employees are facing charges of defamation and failure to exercise control over personal data. Prosecutors appear concerned that the video also highlighted the boy's disability, which could run afoul of data protection rules. The September 2006 video in question depicts four youths harassing a boy with Down's Syndrome and eventually hitting him in the head with a pack of tissues. Google removed the video within a day after it received a complaint from the Italian Interior Ministry. The defendants include David C. Drummond, a Google senior vice president, corporate development and chief legal officer. Marco Pancini, Google's European public policy counsel, said Drummond did paperwork to create Google Italy, but has never lived in the country."
