If hypothetically a false headline on a reputable site led to an incident involving injury or death, could Google be found liable in anyway?
No because on the google.com eula that you sign by having someone on your family ever Google something redeems them of any liability and gives them a right to sacrifice your first born to AI
EULAs are not legally enforceable anyways
They're becoming closer and closer to it though. Scary court decisions are being made, it won't be long before someone tests it as a legal argument
yet.
Liability waivers don't apply outside the US.
Oh you didn't see the clause that supercedes that? Silly consumer not reading everything.
/s
How are other countries enforcing that liability tho?
rarely
I doubt it.
Are you cooking something up?
They could hypothetically. Will they? Probably not.
Possibly. The BBC made a big row about Apple's headlines: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2v778x85yo
