If hypothetically a false headline on a reputable site led to an incident involving injury or death, could Google be found liable in anyway?

Are you cooking something up?

No because on the google.com eula that you sign by having someone on your family ever Google something redeems them of any liability and gives them a right to sacrifice your first born to AI

EULAs are not legally enforceable anyways

They're becoming closer and closer to it though. Scary court decisions are being made, it won't be long before someone tests it as a legal argument

They could hypothetically. Will they? Probably not.

Possibly. The BBC made a big row about Apple's headlines: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2v778x85yo
