Justice Elena Kagan said she and colleagues 'are not like the nine greatest experts on the internet.'
of the Communications Decency Act says sites like YouTube, Google, Facebook and Twitter are immune to legal claims based on the content posted by their users. The justices and parties involved wrestled with whether the way in which that content is presented is itself a form of speech and whether it is via clear recommendations or an algorithm.
Minutes earlier, Justice Samuel Alito told the plaintiff's attorney, Eric Schnapper, he was "completely confused by whatever argument you're making at the present time." Schnapper had been discussing how YouTube presents thumbnail images and links to different videos when providing search results or content that an algorithm believes a user might want.
Schnapper's argument was that YouTube's use of an algorithm to present a list of videos that the algorithm selects is itself a form of speech on YouTube's part, separate from the content of the videos themselves. If Google or another company were to outright say that they recommend a video, however, that would be unprotected speech that promotes content.
