There is no doubt that many people have wasted countless hours because of the recommendation algorithms that suggest them to watch a new video or a character, but what if these recommendations are harmful or inappropriate for children.
Experts believe that the use of algorithms to sort content is one of the essential elements of publishing through which users are able to surf the Internet freely, and therefore this action is protected under Article 230.
On the other hand, others say, the recommendation algorithms not only decide what content to display, as is the case in neutral tools such as search engines, but they work hard to promote it.
In this context, the expert in technology and information security, Raed Sammour, said in an interview with L.L.C"Sky News Arabia":
- There are 3 types of algorithms that work on social media platforms.
- The first algorithm is the social graph, which is the graph of the status and personal relationships between the user and the system of friends, family and relatives.
- The second algorithm, the Internet Graph, is related to the personal interests of individuals.
- The third algorithm combines the first with the second.
- Legislation from 1996 still protects algorithms that have been developed for 27 years, and therefore legislation must be mobile in line with the development of algorithms.

The case holds giant companies working in the technical field responsible for the algorithms of recommended videos, which is a complex issue, according to experts.
Gonzales is named after a young American woman who died among the 130 people killed during a terrorist attack in Paris in 2015.
The suit says algorithms on Google-owned YouTube recommended videos promoting terrorist groups and helped recruit and mentor trainees.
The Gonzales case is examining the repeal of Section 230 of the US Communications Decency Act of 1996.
This law currently protects Internet search engines from prosecution for postings on their websites.
It is attributed to the article itself, allowing giant technology companies to grow without deterrence, and a ruling against “Google” may change the foundations of the law that governs the Internet.
