Google Off The Hook In Child Porn Suit

Long Island, NY--A lawsuit filed against Google Inc. claiming they were profiting from child pornography was dropped on Wednesday. Nassau County legislator Jeff Toback filed the suit in May, claiming the search engine giant had "paid links" to sites containing child porn and was receiving ad revenue from some of those sites.

Toback dropped the suit because "Google has offered to sit down and discuss the issues. They didn't want to do that while litigation was pending, so we're taking them up on their offer"

Google has denied the allegations from the beginning. Company spokesperson Steve Langdon said the Google was "pleased that the suit has been dismissed and believe it was completely without merit."

"If Mr. Toback would like to talk with us about something, he should consider approaching it with a phone call, letter or other common form of communication, not an irresponsible lawsuit."

Langdon went on to say that the lawsuit contained "some of the most far-fetched accusations we've ever heard."

Toback stated that he looks forward to talking with Google representatives "at their earliest convenience."
