Google Inc. Named in Child Porn Suit

A Nassau, NY legislator has filed civil charges against Google Inc. for promoting child pornography. Nassau County legislator, Jeffrey Toback claims the search engine giant receives income from links to child porn sites.

"This case is about a multi-billion dollar company that promotes and profits from child pornography," said the complaint filed with the State Supreme Court in Mineola.

Google maintains that they take proactive steps to prevent access to illegal sites.

"When we find or are made aware of child pornography, we remove it from our products, including our search engine," Google spokesman Steve Langdon told the Associated Press. "We also report it to the appropriate law enforcement officials and fully cooperate with the law enforcement community to combat child pornography."

More to come as this case unfolds.
