Google poate răspunde pentru videoclipuri ilegale pe YouTube

The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that online platforms cannot claim immunity from liability for illegal content if they have a commercial relationship with the content creator and are aware of the type of material published. This decision arose from a case in Italy where Google was fined for not removing gambling-related videos from YouTube, which violated Italian law. The court clarified that platforms are only protected when they act as neutral hosts without knowledge of the content. If they analyze a creator's channel before partnership, they cannot claim to be neutral intermediaries. The ruling emphasizes the responsibility of platforms in content selection and monetization.
