FWIW Gonzalez v Google might not have as much of an impact as what the comments here indicate.
> The case — Gonzalez v. Google — seeks to hold Google legally liable for a deadly 2015 Paris terrorist attack, alleging the tech giant recommended ISIS videos to users and boosted the terrorist group's recruitment.
If the focus is on the recommendation of content and not on the hosting of content (I know they're both related, but bear with me), then the effect of the ruling might have a narrower scope. If a company like Google is recommending terrorist content in such a way that affects many people, that's a problem with the recommendation engine. If the problem is broader and about hosting the content (as opposed to just recommending), the effect might be more extreme
Notwithstanding this ruling could have a catastrophic effect and turn social media sites into lawsuit piñatas, it could be the single most significant fuck up of this court to date
