SYDNEY: Google has suspended an email alerting system in New Zealand following criticism by the government for publishing suppressed details of a murder case, the company said on July 5.

The suspension of the service comes as the Alphabet-owned giant and its peers, such as Facebook Inc and Twitter Inc, as well as governments around the world, wrestle with the question of responsibility for the content published on the platforms.
