Germany's former first lady suing Google over auto-completes

When performing a Google search for Ms. Wulff, the popular search site's autocomplete function routinely suggests you add the words "prostitute" and "escort" to your query. This, of course, is because people are searching for exactly that — it has long been rumored in Germany that former President Christian Wulff met his 38-year-old wife while she was working as a prostitute. The two were married in 2008.
 
Ms. Wulff has been plagued with prostitution rumors for years, and has started fighting back vigorously against them only since her husband resigned office amidst scandal in February 2012. In addition to suing Google, Wulff has filed cease and desist orders against 34 foreign and domestic bloggers, as well as a number of media outlets and personalities in Germany and Austria.
