Lawyer Martin Singer, representing Jennifer Lawrence and about a dozen other celebrities who had their Apple iCloud accounts hacked, is suing Google for $100 million.
Singer said Google has not acted quickly enough to remove the images from YouTube, Blogger, and it's other sites.
Singer wrote: "Google, one of the largest ISPs in the world, with vast resources and a huge support staff, generating multimillions of dollars in revenues on a daily basis, has recklessly allowed these blatant violations to continue in conscious disregard for our clients' rights."
Google maintains that it is doing as much as it can, as quickly as possible: "We've removed tens of thousands of pictures — within hours of the requests being made — and we have closed hundreds of accounts."
