A Quebec Superior Court judge has ordered Google to pay $500,000 to a Montreal man after the tech company restored a link to an online post falsely accusing him of being a pedophile.
The man, whose identity is protected by a publication ban, first found the defamatory post in 2007 when he used Google to search his name.
