  • Argentina: Cristina Kirchner maneuvers with President Alberto Fernández to stop his processes for corruption

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner versus Google, who will win? The letters of the Argentine vice president , who sued the Silicon Valley giant after finding that, if her name was written in the search engine, the main answer was her photo and a legend that presented her as "Thief of the Argentine Nation ".

Twice president and current vice president, Fernández de Kirchner is involved in multiple causes of corruption in her country , but has not been convicted in any of them to date. That Google presents her as a "thief" in the "knowledge panel" of the search engine is, in her opinion, a reason for demand , according to what the Argentines learned this week through a series of tweets by the second authority of the State.

"Today I made a judicial presentation to request an urgent computer expertise against Google, which will serve as evidence of a lawsuit," wrote the current president of the Argentine Senate. His lawyer, Carlos Beraldi, asks as proof that "it is clearly and precisely detailed how" the publication is generated, "how long it was active (and) how many views it had."

Google, adds Fernández de Kirchner's lawyer, "published on its platform and under its responsibility false and offensive information (...) staining" the "name, image and honor" of the former president. The expertise Beraldi is requesting is "an advance test order to file a civil lawsuit." If she wins, the vice president anticipated that she will donate the money to the Children's Hospital of La Plata, capital of the province of Buenos Aires.

The US company reacted by admitting that it learned about the judicial presentation through the media, but that it had not yet been "duly notified." The paradoxical thing about Cristina Kirchner's announcement was that she brought the phrase "Thief of the Argentine Nation" to the fore. Throughout Thursday and Friday, television, radio and digital media analyzed the issue, which was also widely discussed on social media .

"Can Cristina be called a thief? Legally no, they are all innocent until proven otherwise," Gerardo Young said on the LN + channel. " The problem is not from Google, but from the judges : (Cristina) is multiprocessed as the head of a gang of thieves, but she was never convicted."

Some digital media experts expressed amazement at the fact that Google, which functions as an information aggregator, was sued and did not target the owners of Wikipedia, which is where the "thief" tag against the former Chairwoman.

The vice president has an explanation for that: "When lies and defamation are fired from massive platforms, their circulation has no limits , it cannot be stopped and the damage they cause to the defamed seems incalculable." According to her lawyer, the former president found out that Google presented her as "Thief of the Argentine Nation" at 0.20 am on May 17 through an article in the newspaper "Clarín", which she has been fighting and criticizing for years.

When the storm seemed to be easing, Fernández de Kirchner returned to the foreground directly attacking his successor, Mauricio Macri, president of the country between 2015 and 2019 and today on vacation in Europe, which made him the center of criticism from many Argentines in the midst of the quarantine due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

"There is no Argentinian more unpunished than Mauricio Macri, I hope that some Argentines and Argentines will realize it," wrote Cristina, who will undoubtedly put Google in an important and very costly mess . What his lawyer asks the court to do is "arbitrate all the necessary means to download and store all the data associated with the name Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Cristina Kirchner, from 05/17/2020 until the day of that the present expertise that arises from the content of the knowledge panel of the Google search engine of a prominent person be carried out ".

After Cristina's announcement that she would sue Google, the phrase "Thief of the Argentine Nation" came back to life , and that can only benefit her when adding evidence and proving the damage to her image that the search engine generated .
