@pluralistic To use a (of course flawed) metaphor from the past: we would hold a newspaper liable for libel if there was defamation on part of the newspaper, but would not hold liable the postal service through which that newspaper edition had been distributed. Because we recognised that postal service as a common carrier, whereas the editors and the publisher of that newspaper would not be recognised as such. So the point is less the algorithm, more the curation. /fin
