Supreme Court debates Section 230 during Google lawsuit hearing | USA TODAY

Section 230 protects websites, like Google and Twitter, from what users post. Justices are now debating if the law still holds in a "post-algorithm" world.

Google, heard by the court Tuesday, the family of Nohemi Gonzalez, a young American woman killed in 2015 in an ISIS attack in Paris, argued that YouTube algorithms “recommend” ISIS propaganda. A user who clicks on an ISIS video may be offered similar videos, an experience any YouTube user has had when searching for more benign topics. In Twitter v. Taamneh on Wednesday, the court will hear claims by the family of Nawras Alassaf, a Jordanian man killed in an ISIS attack in Istanbul in 2017. The family contends that access to Twitter gave ISIS “substantial assistance” in violation of a California anti-terrorism law. The contention is that Twitter didn’t work hard enough to bar terrorist posts. » Subscribe to USA TODAY: http://bit.ly/1xa3XAh » Watch more on this and other topics from USA TODAY: https://bit.ly/3q3ON4B » USA TODAY delivers current local and national news, sports, entertainment, finance, technology, and more through award-winning journalism, photos, videos and VR. #SupremeCourt #Google #BigTech
