In its first case about the federal law that is credited with helping create the modern Internet, the Supreme Court seemed unlikely to side with a family wanting to hold Google liable for the death of their daughter in a terrorist attack.
The Internet could soon face a significant transformation, courtesy of the Supreme Court. Justices heard arguments in a case questioning whether tech companies should be liable for content on their platforms. Currently, a decades-old law protects big tech. However, that could change with a landmark decision involving a 23-year-old college student whose family is suing YouTube's parent company, Google, for giving a platform to ISIS terrorists who murdered her.
