Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act says, in part, that a tech company that provides an internet service "shall not be treated as the publisher or speaker" of user-generated content. Gonzalez v. Google is about whether Google can use Section 230 to escape a lawsuit alleging that YouTube's targeted recommendations of ISIS videos that radicalized people violated the Anti-Terrorism Act. Do you think websites should be held liable for content that users post to those websites?
