Eric Goldman nel suo blog segnala Northern District della California S. Francisco Div. del 4 settrmbre 2023 Case 3:22-cv-05567-LB, Mercola v. Google etc., decide l’istanza di riapetura dell’account , poi corretta in mero accesso per il recupero dei dati, proposta da medico no-vax.
Decide e rigetta, naturalmente. Il modulo contrattuale preparato da Youtube le permette di far cessare senza problemi il rapporto quando c’è vioalazione delle clausole (terms of service o guidelines ) regolanti i contenuti
Nemmeno la buona fede può operare, dato che c’è violazione di un patto specifico
<<The covenant of good faith and fair dealing is implied in every contract and prevents one party from “unfairly frustrating the other party’s right to receive the benefits” of the contract. Guz v. Bechtel Nat’l Inc., 24 Cal. 4th 317, 349 (2000). To allege a claim for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, a plaintiff must allege the following elements: (1) the plaintiff and the defendant entered into a contract; (2) the plaintiff did all or substantially all of the things that the contract required her to do or she was excused from having to do; (3) all conditions required for the defendant’s performance had occurred; (4) the defendant unfairly interfered with the plaintiff’s right to receive the benefits of the contract; and (5) the defendant’s conduct harmed the plaintiff. Qingdao Tang-Buy Int’l Import & Export Co. v. Preferred Secured Agents, Inc., No. 15-cv-00624-LB, 2016 WL 6524396, at *5 (N.D. Cal. Nov. 3, 2016) (citing Judicial Council of California Civil Jury Instructions § 325 (2011); Oculus Innovative Scis., Inc. v. Nofil Corp., No. C 06-01686 SI, 2007 WL 2600746, at *4 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 10, 2007)).
Again, YouTube’s actions were permitted by the Terms of Service. The implied-covenant claim fails for this reason>>.
