So how does that work with Threadiverse instances, many of which have openly partisan rules? Would that make instances like lemmy.blahaj and dbzer0 liable because they censor specific expressed political and social viewpoints?

    Censoring content isn't the same as recommending content though. The OP was referring to recommendation algorithms specifically.

    Hexbear in particular literally stickies posts to their instance and thus in that sense 'recommends' it. The user replied saying that if you "If you censor or promote speech, you should be responsible for it, to the same extent."
