That kind of depends on Google's modus operandi, doesn't it? Like telecom network not doing enough to combat robo-calls.
If Google wants to reap the profit from allowing people to upload content, they should also perhaps share a part of the responsibility of anything that happens from their own (in)actions?
If Google has ha habit of taking down malicious content, then less responsibility perhaps?
If Google attempts to put into place safeguards versus repeat offenders, then less responsibility again perhaps?
Like if a person is speeding and causes an accident, the government could in theory share part of responsibility if the road they designed and built did not have adequate best-practice safeguards against head-on collisions. A news network could also face legal issues for lies said on it's programmes by guests and hosts regarding voting machines.
- elif 3y agoGoogle takes every step you mentioned and has departments working on it daily. It's still just as common as it was 2 years ago.
- Retric 3y agoGoogle makes a token effort based on the current risk v reward calculation. Increase the risks and they might actually become effective.
- ToucanLoucan 3y agoThen maybe one monolithic video platform that serves the streaming needs of an audience the size of YouTube's isn't a good business plan. For decades the mantra of Silicon Valley has been "eat the world" on a given service you provide, alright, fine. Then provide it. And if you can't provide a service to billions of people without the quality of said service going into the shitter, then the suggestion I have for you is to not eat the world.
