The Biden administration argued in the U.S. Supreme Court against online media platform, saying that, in some instances, tech giants like Google should assume responsibility for the content they share—a stance that could undermine existing protections for tech companies and upend the internet content culture.
In a Supreme Court filing on Wednesday, the lawyers for the U.S. Department of Justice made their argument in the high-profile lawsuit filed by the family of Nohemi Gonzalez. Gonzalez was a 23-year-old American citizen who has killed by ISIS terrorists when they opened fire in a Paris bistro in November 2015. The lawyers said that Google-owned YouTube was partly responsible for the incident through sharing ISIS content with its users.
