Overview

• The final ruling requires Google Argentina SRL and Google LLC to pay 3 million pesos in moral damages plus accrued interest that now exceeds 16 million pesos since the image’s capture in 2017.
• Judges determined that the Street View photo, taken from the public road but showing the plaintiff naked in his private patio, constituted an arbitrary intrusion on his intimacy under Article 19 of the Constitution.
• A 100,000-peso daily fine will be levied on Google for each day the image remains online, reinforcing enforcement of the removal order.
• The tribunal applied a risk-based liability standard from the Civil and Commercial Code, holding Google accountable without proof of intent or negligence for automatically captured images.
• The plaintiff, a member of the security forces, successfully appealed an initial dismissal and argued that the viralized image damaged his professional reputation and family life.
