Optus Fined $3.6M While Google Gets Off Scott Free
Funny thing, the law. Google Australia will get off scott-free - apart from picking up legal costs - for the conduct of its popular search engine, ruled by the Federal Court to have been "misleading" and "deceptive", while Optus Australia has been fined $3.6 million for a similar offence, also deemed to involve misleading the public - in its case in advertising claims for its broadband plans.
