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.

Officials stated that continuous rainfall had weakened the surrounding terrain, leading to debris movement near the tunnel exit.

The incident has disrupted traffic movement along the Khandala Ghat stretch, where waterlogging and the landslide have caused significant delays. Vehicles travelling toward Mumbai have been redirected through Lonavala, resulting in severe congestion on alternate routes.
