The US Supreme Court has just issued two opinions that maintain Social Media Legal Shields - two widely watched section 230 cases involving Google and Twitter. The court cast also doubt on efforts to hold social media companies liable for algorithms that push content to users. “The algorithms appear agnostic as to the nature of the content, matching any content (including ISIS’ content) with any user who is more likely to view that content,” he wrote. “The fact that these algorithms matched some ISIS content with some users thus does not convert defendants’ passive assistance into active abetting.” See the opinions here: https://lnkd.in/gQMVsfQS https://lnkd.in/gqKBqbm5 See a brief analysis by BL here:
