Uber Hit With $8.5M Payout After Rape Claim

A federal judge blocked the IRS from sharing residential addresses with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Thursday, while a US court ordered Uber to pay $8.5 million to a woman who claimed she was raped by a driver. Additionally, Canada opened its first diplomatic outpost in Greenland, and two suspected Chinese spies were arrested in a French village.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, nominated by former President Barack Obama, ruled that sharing taxpayer data with ICE could violate the Tax Act of 1976, which includes privacy protections, according to Fox News. The judge's order prohibits ICE and the IRS from sharing data.

In Arizona, a jury found Uber responsible for the behavior of a driver who allegedly raped a passenger, Jaylynn Dean, according to BBC Technology and BBC Business. The jury deliberated for two days before reaching the verdict. Uber stated its intention to appeal the ruling. The jury rejected additional claims of negligence and defective safety systems.

Canada opened its first diplomatic outpost in Greenland in a show of solidarity, following threats from former US President Donald Trump to take control of the territory, according to BBC World. A delegation of Canadian officials, including Governor General Mary Simon and Foreign Minister Anita Anand, traveled to Nuuk to formally open the consulate. Anand stated the consulate symbolizes Canada's long-term commitment to "stand together with the people of Greenland and Denmark."

In France, two suspected Chinese spies were arrested in the village of Camblanes-et-Meynac, near Bordeaux, according to BBC World. The two men, aged 27 and 29, were accused of gathering information. Residents grew suspicious after the pair installed a large parabolic antenna, which coincided with internet service disruptions. Intelligence experts believe south-western France is increasingly targeted by Chinese and other espionage efforts.
