On October 2, the Santiago Court of Appeals rejected an appeal
filed against an internet search engine provider and two other
digital media outlets for disseminating and maintaining
unauthorized images of a young man who previously died. The ruling
stated that the company merely acted "as a search engine for
public information" and that "[t]hose who have uploaded
the pictures are responsible for the existence of such information
available to the public on the internet."
