More: - The videos have been viewed around 800,000 times on YouTube since being posted in 2010.
- Australia is among the few Western countries where online platforms bear similar legal responsibilities to publishers; the country is in the midst of a legal review of the exposure platforms like YouTube have regarding defamatory posts made by users.
