Japan Court to Google: Switch Off AutoComplete - Man complained that results ruined his life: Newser.com
Due to a man's inability in Japan to find a job, a Japanese court has told Google to turn off Autocomplete for the man's name.
When the man typed his name into Google search, the search results pointed him to crimes he did not commit.
This is a reminder perhaps that some people may have the same name, with different info about them on the web, and job recruiters use the web to find more info about you. Because of this, some are being branded for things they did not take part of.
