Google tells who wrote the bad review for the dentist. Australian court decision

According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the Federal Court of Australia has ordered Google to assist in the identification of an anonymous user. The user had provided a bad review for an Australian dental surgeon. The anonymous user has tried to harm them by telling them to stay away from them, the doctor said.

According to the surgeon, Dr. Mathew, he asked Google to disclose the identity of the user CBsm 23, but Google rejected the request. Google believes that they have the right location and time to create the ID. There is no means to investigate. However, the judge says that Dr. Mathew has the right to sue for reputation damage, so Google will provide him with user information such as name, phone number, location metadata and IP address.

Dr. Mathew's lawyer says Google is responsible for the posting on its platform of damaging its reputation.
