WASHINGTON 鈥� The 老澳门开奖结果, the 老澳门开奖结果 of Northern California, and Daphne Keller of the Stanford Cyber Policy Center filed an amicus brief today, urging the Supreme Court to ensure online platforms are free to promote, demote, and recommend content without legal risk to protect political discourse, cultural development, and intellectual activity. Google v. Gonzalez is the first Supreme Court case to consider the scope of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which immunizes websites from legal liability for content provided by their users. This case was brought by family members of a U.S. citizen who was killed by ISIS in a 2015 terrorist attack. The suit alleges that Google鈥檚 YouTube is partially responsible for the attack, and cannot claim immunity because it mistakenly suggested that users view content ISIS operatives posted on the site. As the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 amicus brief explains, platforms have no choice but to prioritize some content over others, and should be immune for those choices. 鈥淚f the Court accepts plaintiffs鈥� theory, it will drive platforms both to censor lawful content and also to feature speech of little interest or value to users, including voter suppression material, disinformation and hate speech, contrary to the goals of Section 230,鈥� the brief reads. 鈥淪ection 230 defines internet culture as we know it: It鈥檚 the reason why websites can offer platforms for critical and controversial speech without constantly worrying about getting sued,鈥� said Jennifer Granick, surveillance and cybersecurity counsel with 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project. 鈥淭he Supreme Court should interpret Section 230 in a way that protects people鈥檚 ability to create, communicate, and build community online.鈥� The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Google v. Gonzalez on Feb. 21, and a related case, Twitter v. Taamneh, on Feb. 22. The latter case asks the court to consider whether Twitter may be held liable under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) for allegedly 鈥渁iding and abetting鈥� an ISIS attack in Istanbul because Twitter failed to adequately block or remove content promoting terrorism from its platform 鈥� even though it had no actual knowledge that a specific piece of user-generated content on its platform provided substantial assistance to a terrorist act. Google v. Gonzalez is a part of the 老澳门开奖结果's Joan and Irwin Jacobs Supreme Court Docket. The brief is here: /gonzalez-v-google-brief-american-civil-liberties-un...
