This article focuses on Google not being liable, but ignores the fact that the specific creators and posters of the content appearing in Google's search results certainly can be sued.

There have been a lot of anti-CDA 230 sob stories lately, which have indeed highlighted real victims of online content and abuse, but imposing liability on platforms simply destroys the free and open internet. Search engines would cease to exist if they became liable for simply indexing content created by others, and sites like Hacker News wouldn't be able to allow user submissions and comments.

We need to be careful to avoid victim-blaming, but equally important to recognize that very real harms to some people don't justify upending policies that have created enormous value for society as a whole.

Not to mention that, even without CDA 230, the majority of the problematic speech online would remain legal in the US because of the First Amendment.
