> she won and did a great service to her fellow human beings

She didn't win, they settled out of court. The article definitely does its best to avoid mentioning even a single detail about the case beyond the outcome, and even that it misconstrues.

Dr. Duffy left a bad review for some psychics on the site "RipOff Report" and lied about her friend’s wife committing suicide due to bad advice given by the psychics. A few unsavory posts based on her behaviour ended up being published there as well. The big crime that Google committed was providing the most common autocompletes on search terms like it does for every other search query. In this case, it showed the search term “janice duffy psychic stalker” after typing in "janice duffy".

I don't see how any of this insane story counts as a "great service to her fellow human beings".

Actually I did win - on liability - twice. They settled on damages out of court. This is the second liability win:https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/cases/sa/SASC/...

I made law and because of it others, for example people whose ex partners take revenge online (at least in common law countries) have recourse against global and potentially permanent reputation and personal damage that impacts upon their families and livelihoods as well them.

I did get ripped off but if you do some research so did hundreds of others. People lose millions every year to internet scams. This IS an scam website. I formed a support group and the defamatory content was published to stop the support group.
