Man's legal entitlement to anonymity 'whisked away in the blink of an eye' by Google, lawyer tells court

When the man's name is placed into the Google search engine the results include links to reports of rape trials, the Central Criminal Court heard.

Lawyers for a man acquitted of rape last year have told a court that his legal entitlement to anonymity is being breached by Google search results of his name.

Micheal O'Higgins SC told Mr Justice Micheal White that when his client's name is placed into the Google search engine the results include links to reports of rape trials.
