Gonzalez v. Google, an extraordinarily high-stakes tech policy case that the Supreme Court announced it will hear on Monday, emerged from a horrible act of mass murder.Significantly, the Gonzalez family’s lawyers also argue that YouTube’s algorithms promoted this content to “users whose characteristics indicated that they would be interested in ISIS videos.” The question of whether federal law permits a major tech company like Google to be sued over which content its algorithms served up to certain users divides some of the brightest minds in the federal judiciary.In 2018, the sociologist Zeynep Tufekci warned that YouTube “may be one of the most powerful radicalizing instruments of the 21st century” because of its algorithms’ propensity to serve up more and more extreme versions of the content its users decide to watch.Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, briefly explained There are many reasons to be skeptical that the Gonzalez family will ultimately prevail in this lawsuit.And the First Amendment typically protects video content, even videos that advocate violence or terrorism, unless the video is “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.” But the Gonzalez litigation never got that far."
