Court Cases Mark Lagarde - June 6, 2022

The online search monopolist Google earns a lot of money with illegal content. FinTelegram readers know that. A court in Australia has now convicted Google of defamation and ordered it to pay the former politician John Barilaro $515,000 over two defamatory YouTube videos. Barilaro, the former New South Wales state deputy premier, had sued Google and comedian Jordan Shanks in the Federal Court over the videos. Justice Steven Rares found Barilaro had been the “subject of a relentless, racist, abusive and defamatory campaign conducted on YouTube.”
