[Manila Principles] Fwd: [CyberProf] Libel takedown frauds

[Daphne Keller]

Apologies for cross-posting.  This detective work by Eugene V and Paul L is
remarkable for people following US takedown practice.  They found 25 court
orders adjudicating Internet content defamatory, all seemingly obtained by
suing fake defendants and entering fake stipulations - the goal being to
provide Google with court orders supporting removal of web search results.
