Up next: the lawsuit threatening your YouTube watch queue

In the 1990s, the Wolf of Wall Street's legal battle with Prodigy almost led to the end of the internet as we know it. The court initially held that Prodigy could be held responsible for user-generated content due to its efforts to moderate content on its site. However, Congress intervened and enacted Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act in 1996, which provided immunity for internet platforms from liability for third-party content they hosted. Fast forward to today, Gonzalez v. Google is a Supreme Court case that questions whether YouTube's recommendations fall under Section 230 protection or if it can be held liable for promoting ISIS-related videos. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for the future of internet platforms and their liability for user-generated content.
