TV stations are certainly liable for content they didn&#x27;t produce but choose to show.<p>Newspapers can be liable for simply repeating a quote but newsworthiness is a valid defence, provided the context is reporting rather than promoting the opinion.<p>The question in Google&#x27;s case is whether the choices applied in their search algorithm constitute promotional choices or whether the engine is merely a robot reporting on available content.<p>I personally think the court is wrong here but promoting versus reporting is the question in play.
