The use of algorithms to sift through user-generated content is prevalent across most major websites. However, a recent ruling against Google may necessitate tighter regulation of explicit or violent content on internet platforms. This could have significant impacts on internet companies who rely on immunity from the law. Should the ruling be implemented poorly, it has the potential to cause a significant ripple effect across the internet. To prevent this, universities like Carnegie Mellon advise creating a delicate balance when tightening content moderation laws. Although Google has won in lower courts, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case in question last year, while a similar case against Twitter is due to be heard this week. The Section 230 law, a significant aspect of internet regulation, has been considered a potential stumbling block for post-Brexit US trade deals, countering UK government plans for stricter internet regulation. The Supreme Court, which recently issued some controversial rulings, is expected to make a decision this summer. Justice Clarence Thomas, one of nine justices, is a vocal critic of how internet firms employ the law to avoid liability.
