The precedent has already been set (e.g. Infowars) that hosting an app on your platform is an endorsement of the content and the publisher of the app.

What's the context behind this claim?

It seems to me that US domestic interest in excluding foreign objectionable content mean that the DMCA safeharbor provision's days are numbered.

There isn't any. Infowars and company were banned from various content platforms for violating platform policies.

i.e. There's flat earth content on Youtube, that doesn't mean Youtube endorses flat earth conspiracies.

This is the context.

Both Sundar Pichai and Tim Cook met and shook the hand of MBS. All smiles. None of these men care about women or LGBT unless it's legally enforced. Yes, the irony that Tim Cook is gay is not lost on me.

Even Sam Altman says he doesn't understand the significance of a journalist being murdered by MBS in a consulate.

Big surprise people here don't like when the truth about Sam Altman is revealed.
