INTERNET giant Google has
lodged a US Federal Lawsuit
against unauthorised online
pharmacies who used its search
engines and websites to advertise.
“Rogue pharmacies are bad for
our users, for legitimate online
pharmacies and for the entire ecommerce
industry—so we are
going to keep investing time and
money to stop these kinds of
harmful practices,” said Google
lawyer Michael Zwibelman.
The lawsuit alleges that 51
defendants circumvented its policy
regarding pharmacy advertising
which stipulates that companies
must be National Association of
Boards of Pharmacy verified.
It is expected that throughout the
court case, Google will add more
defendants to its list of targets.
“Litigation of this kind should act
as a serious deterrent to anyone
thinking about circumventing our
policies to advertise illegally on
Google,” Zwibelman added.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 23 Sep 10 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 23 Sep 10
