Oct. 30, 2014 — A Hong Kong court has granted permission to Google to appeal against an earlier ruling that Hong Kong has jurisdiction to hear entertainment tycoon Albert Yeung Sau-shing’s defamation lawsuit against the US technology giant. The judge ruled that the tech giant’s libel fight with Yeung should go to a higher court to bring ‘enlightenment’ to an ‘uneasy area’ of defamation law. Yeung sued Google, saying that its “autocomplete” function of its search engine linked him to triad gangs and asking removal of those links.
