Google execs' trial sparks important debate

This case is about a crime committed by Italian youths and the video posted on Google's Italian site. It is absurd that American executives of Google could face jail in Italy over this. Besides, under US law, Google could not be held liable for third party content. Since Google's hosting the video is not an offense in the US, the Google execs can't be extradited to Italy. But they will have to stay out of the EU and any other nations that would consider this a crime. Better stay in the US, guys!
