- Case Summary
The U.S. District Court for Northern California granted Google an injunction to prevent enforcement in the U.S. of a Canadian court order requiring it to remove certain websites from its global search results. The Canadian court order had been made in favor of Equustek on its application to have the websites from Datalink, a rival company it had sued for misappropriation of trade secrets, delisted from all Google websites worldwide. The U.S. Court reasoned that Google was immune as an interactive service provider under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, preventing enforcement of the Canadian court order in the U.S
