Mississippi AG Hood looks to file lawsuit against internet search engines

By: Magnolia Tribune - December 19, 2014

Miss. Attorney General Wants to Hold Google Accountable for Aiding Illegal Activity

Hood said Thursday he was unware of the emails between the media giants in January, but he is working with them to eventually file a lawsuit.

“I actually began before 2008,” Hood said, referencing his fight to get search engines to filter images of child pornography. “There is nothing inappropriate about a prosecutor working with a victim. That’s what we are talking about. It is that simple. These are companies that have had their properties stolen.”

Hood says although media piracy is a concern, he is more concerned about search engines providing easy access to websites that sell illegal drugs, counterfeit goods, and information about other illegal activities like human trafficking.
