CASE
The Case
The case we will be trying is Reynaldo Gonzalez, et al., v. Google LLC.
Question Presented
The Communications Decency Act has a rule--Section 203(c)(1)--that protects websites like YouTube, Google, Facebook, and Twitter from being sued for something that someone else posted on their site. Thus, YouTube cannot be held liable for content contained in a video posted on their website, nor could Facebook be sued for information contained in a post. The question in this case is whether this rule extends protection to websites when they suggest information posted by others or only protects them when they choose what to show on their site. It asks, for example, if YouTube could be held liable for information contained in a video that it recommends to you.
