Newsstands, bookstores recommend items. Ones they put on front, at eye level, on the "look at this" table as you walk in. We don't typically hold them liable.

In meatspace we don't generally hold those making recommendations liable for the 3rd party content. We shouldn't online either.

If a newsstand was promoting ISIS recruitment propaganda, you better believe we'd hold that newsstand responsible for harm caused by that recommendation.

As we should, IMO.

And those recommendations are the same for every person that shops there. So they would pay a stiff penalty in the market if they promoted extreme content, whereas YT and social media can present a customized "bookstore" for each person, without the consequences of everyone else seeing what it's recommending.
