I think the third sentence of the comment you’re replying to answers that


So you believe that presenting the results (especially if you filter on something like 'relevance') of a search now makes the website liable?

That's going to be hell for Google. Well, maybe not, they have many and decent lawyers.


I’m not sure you read the sentence in question correctly


> However, TikTok's decision to show the video to the child is TikTok's speech, and TikTok is liable for that decision.

How is my interpretation incorrect, please? TikTok (or any other website like Google) can show a video to a child in any number of ways - all of which could be considered to be their speech.


The third sentence is "If the kid searched specifically for the video and found it, TikTok would have been safe."


Aah, I counted paragraphs - repeatedly - for some reason. That's my bad.

That said, this is a statement completely unsubstantiated in the original post or in the post that it links to, or the decision in TFA. It's the poster's opinion stated as if it were a fact or a part of the Judge's ruling.


You're right, I did jump to that conclusion. It turns out it was the correct conclusion, although I definitely shouldn't have said it.
