SECTION 9

Section 9. Platform Liability, Standing & Procedural Thresholds (MCQs)

Excerpt from a Comparative US–EU Judgment (2024)

“In actions involving algorithmic amplification, courts must identify whether the platform acted as a publisher or merely as a neutral intermediary. Under US First Amendment doctrine, the plaintiff must show that the claim (1) …… a legally cognisable injury rather than a purely speculative harm. In the EU, Article 17 GDPR requires controllers to erase data (2) …… the request of the data subject unless overriding legitimate interests apply.

Where content moderation is challenged, platforms may invoke Section 230(c) protection, but only (3) …… the platform did not materially contribute to the development of the unlawful content. By contrast, the CJEU’s “active role” test asks whether the platform has intervened (4) …… a manner that confers knowledge or control over the data.

Interim measures may be granted when there is a risk of serious, irreversible harm, provided the applicant demonstrates a case (5) …… sufficient strength and the balance of convenience favours relief.”
