The Supreme Court will for the first time consider the scope of Section 230, which provides legal immunity to online companies for content posted by third parties.
Even the company that operates online dating services Match and Tinder pointed to Section 230 as"vital" to its efforts to connect singles, as the law allows"its dating platforms to provide recommendations to its users for potential matches without having to fear overwhelming litigation."
"Section 230 protects targeted recommendations to the same extent that it protects other forms of content curation and presentation," they wrote."Any other interpretation would subvert Section 230's purpose of encouraging innovation in content moderation and presentation. The real-time transmission of user-generated content that Section 230 fosters has become a backbone of online activity, relied upon by innumerable internet users and platforms alike.
Like the Gonzalezes, Taiwanna Anderson, too, has fought to hold a social media platform responsible over content it recommends to users. "When they passed it, they set this balance and said not that they didn't believe there wouldn't be harmful content, but they believed on balance the creation of opportunities and forums for people to speak, for the growth of the internet and development of a tool that became central to our lives, commerce, political expression — that was what they valued more," Mackey said."Congress is free to rewrite that balance.
"These algorithms let me go viral among people who can relate to my jokes," he told CBS News."If I put this type of content in front of a general audience, they probably wouldn't find it as funny."
