On July 20th YouTube responded by saying it had asked for the lawsuit to be dismissed. At the heart of YouTube's claims against Ripple, according to public records, is that it takes no responsibility for the content on its site and has a history of taking action to remove harmful content when notified. YouTube cites section 230 of the US Communications Decency Act, which effectively provides websites with liability protection against content posted on them.
