An Australian court ordered Google to pay a former lawmaker $515,000 over its failure to remove defamatory YouTube videos that drove him out of politics.
But the judge said Shanks "needed YouTube to disseminate his poison Google was willing to join Mr. Shanks in doing so to earn revenue as part of its business model."
The YouTuber mockingly wrote in a Facebook post after Monday's ruling that Barilaro "finally scored the coin from Google... without ever having the truth tested in court."Barilaro "withdrew action against us so we wouldn't testify or present our evidence," Shanks wrote.The ex-politician told reporters outside the courthouse that he felt "cleared and vindicated".
"It was never about money," Barilaro said. "It was about an apology, removal. Of course, now an apology is worthless after the campaign has continued. It's taken a court to force Google's hand."
