Google ordered to pay Australian politician over defamatory YouTube Videos

An Australian court on Monday ordered Google to pay a former lawmaker A$715,000 ($515,000), saying its failure to take down a YouTuber’s “relentless, racist, vilificatory, abusive and defamatory campaign” of videos drove him out of politics.

Vehicles travelling toward Mumbai have been redirected through Lonavala, resulting in severe congestion on alternate routes.
