How I got sued by Facebook
Google can do it because Facebook doesn't really want to go up against money in making this a test case, and Google has baskets of cash.
Facebook doesn't give a tinker's damn about prohibiting
your
value creation.

Or because Google would simply comply with their demands and remove all mention of facebook from their indexes... That would be pretty interesting.

Ha! Yeah, I hadn't thought of that aspect. Half of their userbase wouldn't even be able to sign on any more!

I guess when they have direct gain, ie- people accessing facebook profiles through google searches, they are more than happy for this to occur.
