Google arguing that the tech giant should not be immune from suit for its own alleged conduct in recommending and/or suggesting terrorist content. Levin Papantonio Rafferty shareholder Kim Adams wrote an amicus brief for this case.

Adams’ amicus brief states the argument that Google-generated recommendations and should not be protected by Section 230.
