The Jewish Telegraphic Agency website reports today (May 2, 2012) that a French anti-discrimination group is taking Google to court for offering to search if celebrities are Jewish.
SOS Racisme -- a French organization that fights discrimination -- is scheduled to meet Google attorneys in a French courtroom today for a hearing on the matter.
The suggestion of Jewish comes as part of Google's auto-complete feature, which appends terms to searches to make them faster.
In court filings, SOS Racisme claims that Google is violating a French constitutional law against compiling files on people that reference their ethnicity.
