FIFA sues Google for defamation over reputational damage

So, under this strict Swiss defamation law - would it be defamation for Google&#x27;s ranking algo&#x27;s to favor news stories about FIFA suing Google (for SRP&#x27;s linking to some supposedly-defaming articles about FIFA)? Such coverage could be 100% true...<p>(Yes, it would also be interesting to see the limits of the supposed &quot;anyone or anything which aids in the spread of&quot; Swiss defamation law. Interpret that broadly enough, and the Swiss electrical grid will need to be shut down indefinitely - because someone with a Starlink internet connection could be viewing the defaming article with the help of utility-supplied electricity.)
