  Citation needed. If they receive a copyright takedown request and don't act on it, then they're liable. Otherwise I don't see where liability comes into play. Please cite court cases showing websites are liable for content posted by its users. Nobody is using Twitter to archive copyrighted material.

  Except that Section 230 explicitly states that they don't bear liability.

    Does European privacy law have the same provision? They are removing non-US accounts first, after all.
