Algorithmic Content Excluded from Safe Harbor

Section 18(4) excludes "algorithmically generated information" from intermediary safe harbor protections, creating liability exposure for platforms' recommendation algorithms, content ranking, search results, and AI-generated content. This carve-out goes beyond international norms (EU DSA, US Section 230) and imposes impossible compliance burdens—platforms cannot realistically verify the truth/falsity of every algorithmically ranked or recommended piece of content under 19's broad definition. The undefined term "algorithmically generated information" creates uncertainty about what features trigger liability, chilling AI innovation and disproportionately burdening startups with limited compliance resources.
