Wife of Former German President Suing Google Over Autofill Feature

Doesn't like being linked to prostitution and red light districts

|


The wife of the former German president has included Google in legal action to stop rumours about her private life.

When the name Bettina Wulff is typed into Google's search engine, suggested search terms include the words "prostitute" and "red light district".

Google says the auto-generated text reflects what others are already searching for online.

Mrs Wulff denies she has ever worked as a prostitute.
