Google filed a key defense brief in a Supreme Court case that could reshape the legal landscape for online publishers and services.
Plaintiffs argue that Section 230's protection does not extend to algorithmically created recommendations, since YouTube plays a role in deciding which videos to recommend to users.
Google contends Section 230 protects YouTube's methods of organizing users' posts, and weakening the law would only make it harder to filter out terrorism content.: "The stakes could not be higher.
"Legal risk for recommending or organizing content would reduce useful services like showing the best job listings, listing the most relevant products, or displaying the most helpful videos of recipes, songs, or sources of news, entertainment and information." DeLaine Prado writes that limiting Section 230 would impede access to information, curb free expression, harm businesses and allow more harmful content to stay online.Smaller tech companies also reliant on third-party content and other parties will file supporting briefs in the coming weeks.
