In 2017, the Gonzalez family and the lawyers filed their case, arguing that Google’s YouTube video site broke the U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act by promoting Islamic State propaganda videos with its recommendation algorithms. Google says the case is without merit because the law protects internet companies from liability for content posted by their users. The lower courts sided with Google, but the family appealed, and in October the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case.
…Section 230 shields social media “platforms” from being held liable for user posted contents. The lawsuit tries to pin the responsibility for “recommending/promoting” certain contents rather merely hosting such contents.
