Google's autocomplete feature is very helpful 99.9 percent of the time when you want to search for a particular name or item. One Japanese man, however, discovered that the autocomplete feature was anything but helpful and now a Japanese court has agreed with him.
According to a feature on the
Japan Times website, via
News.com, the Tokyo District Court has now ordered Google to remove certain terms from its search autocomplete feature. The order comes after the unnamed Japanese man discovered that when typing his name into Google, autocomplete brought up thousands of suggestions that linked this man's name to criminal acts.
