Nova Scotia musician Ashley MacIsaac ends Google defamation lawsuit
Nova Scotia musician Ashley MacIsaac has ended a civil lawsuit against Google, which he had filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice earlier this year. MacIsaac claimed that Google had defamed him by falsely identifying him as a sex offender in an AI-generated summary. The Juno Award-winner had also alleged that the summary wrongly stated that he had been listed on the national sex offender registry.
The lawsuit was filed on July 29, and MacIsaac discontinued it on July 29, 2026. Neither MacIsaac nor Google responded to requests for comment.
