Judge Paul Magnuson of the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, sitting by designation in the Middle District of Florida, held that Google was immune from liability because the First Amendment protects Google's decisions about what websites to remove from its search results, reasoning that these "are the same decisions by a newspaper editor regarding which content to publish, which article belongs on the front page, and which article is unworthy of publication."
