Google said the Supreme Court could 'upend the internet' if it rules to scale back the liability shield protecting sites such as YouTube and Facebook

WASHINGTON—A case before the Supreme Court challenging the liability shield protecting websites such as YouTube and Facebook could “upend the internet,” resulting in both widespread censorship and a proliferation of offensive content, Google said in a court filing Thursday.

In a new brief filed with the high court, Google said that scaling back liability protections could lead internet giants to block more potentially offensive content—including controversial political speech—while also leading smaller websites to drop their filters to avoid liability that can arise from efforts to screen content.

doesn’t google love the whole flipping the script thing?

In other words, I am scared I can no longer censor,

別のネットワークが必要な時代になりました🤣

Oh my, censoring the censorers. What is this world coming to?

Take responsibility for what is published…..

You should be scared Google, you are censoring and shutting down free speech. While pushing other political narratives that you have no business doing. You need to be broken up.

Not scaring us sounds like a provider problem not the peoples problem

Deal with it Google

Might Google, Youtube, Facebook take down their customer service shield & offer tollfree 's & live chat services for its human being customers, like Amazon does? They make gazillions of dollars off us, invade our privacy at whim, so assume they have no need to shield themselves.

Terms acceptable.

Maybe the internet needs a little upending...

Nah. It's not gonna hurt me. I'm already dead because we didn't get net neutrality.

Retail guys are very efficient today. They are holding the market to go up or down!

Translation - Google wants to continue to act as a publisher with full editorial control, while hiding behind protections of not being a publisher....

Good

Good for them!! Upend away!
