short piece by Neil Turkewitz (@neilturkewitz@twitter.com) on a new Australian court decision holding #Google liable for failing to remove defamatory content from its search listings, currently unthinkable in the US thanks to #Section230 medium.com/@nturkewitz_56674/b

@dgolumbia That's not so unthinkable here. If you get a judgement against someone for defamation, you can get a court order demanding web hosts remove the content.

We just don't pretend that Google has somehow defamed someone by linking to the actual defamation.
