They (publishers) actually are held accountable for the stuff they publish (e.g., publishing copyrighted material w/o permission will land you in the courtroom). This is why FB/Twitter/YouTube do not want to be publishers. However, because of their approach to moderation, they could wander in those waters.
- someonelse17 8y agoThey're not held legally accountable for political views. The copyright stuff applies to everyone already.
- jimbobimbo 8y agoNot political views, but slander/libel - publishers are liable.
