  "summary": "The gender equality ministry in South Korea is contemplating legal action against Google following a data leak involving personal information of digital sex crime victims. This sensitive data was exposed on a foreign research project website that collaborated with Google before being removed upon request from both the ministry and the Korea Communications Standards Commission. The victims in question had sought the removal of illegally filmed videos, with Google subsequently apologizing for any violation of their privacy. The ministry is currently evaluating the applicable legal charges for the complaint, with the possibility of either the ministry or its affiliate, the Women's Human Rights Institute of Korea, filing the complaint.",
