Google denies breaching law by promoting suicide forum linked to 164 UK deaths

Google has denied breaching the Online Safety Act by promoting a suicide forum linked to 164 UK deaths, despite the site being banned in the UK. The site's US-based operator was fined £950,000 by Ofcom for presenting a material risk of significant harm. The forum can still be accessed in the UK through Google's search results.
