That tall drink of silver fox water up there is former Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile President and Formula 1 owner Max Mosley, and this picture was taken legally back in March as he attended a meeting with British government officials to discuss the regulation of the media. This is a subject that Mosley has taken a great interest in ever since he was outed by the News of the World in 2009 for engaging in a sado-masochistic orgy with five prostitutes that may or may not have involved Nazi role-playing. However, for the sake of not being sued into poverty, the court determined in that ruling that there was no evidence of Nazi role playing.
But the situation set an incredible precedent, not only because Mosley basically destroyed News of the World for publishing photos of him engaged in an S&M hooker orgy, but because it showed that an incredibly wealthy person was not going to sit by and watch his reputation be dragged through the mud because of images of him having a violent bondage orgy with multiple prostitutes.
And Mosley is far from done, as he has convinced a French court to force Google to remove every last link to every last site (like this one right here) that shows the News of the World’s pictures. You know, the pictures that show him having a big, hot, nasty, sexy hooker orgy.
Google, the world’s top search engine, has been ordered by a French court to remove links to images of ex-motorsport boss Max Mosley with prostitutes.
Google said the ruling “should worry all those who defend freedom of expression on the internet”. It intends to appeal, French media say. (Via the BBC)
But if Google appeals, won’t that just mean more news stories about how Mosley had an orgy with hookers? Obviously, but this is less about people talking about how Mosley had sex with five prostitutes at the same time and more about people not being able to invade the privacy of hooker orgies. That’s why he started going after Google back in 2011.
Mr Mosley said Google had agreed to remove links to material from the story on a case-by-case basis.
But he claimed that when he had asked the firm to re-programme its technology to ensure it did not show up at all in searches about him it had refused as “a matter of principle” even though it was “technically feasible”.
“I think you cannot underestimate that if someone puts a picture on the web that they shouldn’t, that will go on forever unless action is taken,” he said.
“As soon as a search engine finds it is available to everybody and the thing you sued over and won over is republished again and again… Clearly that can be stopped and should be stopped in my opinion,” Mr Mosley said at the time.
Hopefully someone has explained to Mosley how the Internet works at some point during the last two years, because NOTHING IS EVER DELETED FROM THE INTERNET EVER. Especially photos of an old wealthy man having sex with five prostitutes in a sado-masochistic hooker orgy.
