> While Gonzalez tries to distinguish “recommendations” from “publishing,” we argue that does not make logical sense. This is because Gonzalez’s definition of a recommendation is so broad that it covers nearly any attempt to arrange, curate, or organize content. However, without arrangement and curation, content on the internet would be disorganized, full of spam and irrelevant information, and useless to readers. Nobody would be able to find what they were looking for. It simply is not possible to publish things without also organizing and curating what you are publishing in some fashion.
No? It is very easy and possible. Domain registrars and web hosting providers can do that, but they cannot? Either you curate and endorse the content or you are free from liability. That sounds simple and reasonable. You can't have your cake and eat it.

Those organizations don’t have to provide search or offer content. No one goes to Namecheap to find a website, and no one goes to AWS to see something to watch. YouTube doesn’t need to endorse a video to put it in your feed. There’s too many videos for there not to be some sort of algorithm to determine what content to show, even if it’s chronologically or by views or something. You can’t have YouTube without a way to organize the content. You can’t have search without some sort of heuristic to search against. The issue in my opinion is not the algorithm to curate and organize content but instead the decision to moderate content ex post-facto instead of at upload time. A post-230 YouTube is one where any video can be found by URL but only vetted videos can be suggested to you.
- LudwigNagasena 4y agoI don't know how it should look exactly but diffusion of responsibility until no one is accountable doesn't sound right either.
