Amsterdam, The Netherlands (AHN) - A website that helps Dutch farmers find a date has filed a suit against Google. According to the dating website pornographic sites are listed as sponsored links when you enter the dating site's name into the search engine.

The Dutch dating web site http://farmdate.nl claims membership of up to 3,000 and boasts itself as a "a respectable meeting website for farmers."

Now, the farmer's union FNV Bondgenoten told the court that sponsored links paid for by companies appear when Web users key in "farm date" on Google, the world's largest search engine.

It said the links lead to pornographic sites and were "very damaging for Farmdate's reputation." FNV is a staunch defender of the Dutch dating Web site.

A court in The Hague is set to rule on the case by August, 24.
