"Today's action is part of our ongoing legal strategy to protect consumers and small businesses and establish needed legal precedent in emerging areas of innovation," Google said in a blog post on Monday.<\/p>\n

Scammers have created fake Facebook profiles impersonating Google Bard, using names including "Google AI," "AIGoogle," "AiGoogle," "AIGoogle.Plus," "AIGoogle Bard FB," and "AIGoogleBard."The real Google Bard is also advertised on the platform, making it more difficult for users to distinguish the real from the fake<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In another lawsuit filed the same day, Google sued a group of bad actors who abused copyright law to wrongfully remove the websites of more than 100,000 businesses, causing them to lose millions of dollars and thousands of hours of employee time.<\/p>\n

These bad actors filed false Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) claims, which allow for the removal of content believed to infringe copyright after being flagged by the rightful owner.
