Constitutional Court, Martínez vs. Google Colombia & El Tiempo publishing house, Judgment T-040/13

The article was displayed on Google search engine and a newspaper website. The plaintiff claimed the violation of his fundamental rights of privacy, good name and honor. According to the Court, Google search engine had not published the information and, for that reason, it was not required to modify, correct, delete or supplement the information retrieved in a specific search.
