Google ordered to reveal author of Australian dentist's bad review
An Australian court has ordered Google to identify the person behind an anonymous bad review of a dentist.
Dr Matthew Kabbabe, a teeth-whitening specialist in Melbourne, sought the order so he could sue for defamation.
He claimed user CBsm 23 had damaged his business by telling others to "STAY AWAY" from a procedure criticised as "extremely awkward and uncomfortable".
The ruling forces the hand of the tech giant, which has previously defended allowing negative reviews on its site.
