    Isn’t the reason that online companies are not directly liable for the users’ contents that they are a kind of neutral publisher? When this “neutral” falls flat, aren’t they publishing their opinion, and would have to carry responsibility for that?

      I think that once they start deciding what content to show you, whether via algorithm or human decision, they become an editor/publisher and should be liable for that content
