Abstract

Short video platforms face increasingly severe copyright infringement issues in the context of algorithmic recommendations. With the widespread application of algorithmic recommendation technology, platforms have gradually evolved from passive neutral intermediaries to active content managers, thereby intensifying the complexity of liability for infringements. Algorithmic recommendations are based on user behavior data and prioritize content with high engagement, often including unauthorized works, which leads to the spread of infringing content. This “pseudo-neutrality” strengthens the platform’s dominant role in content dissemination, making the traditional “safe harbor” principle difficult to apply. By analyzing relevant legal practices, this paper proposes improvements to the platform responsibility identification mechanism and suggestions for enhancing content review and compliance systems, in order to ensure that platforms, while enhancing user experience, effectively fulfill their copyright protection obligations.
