Abstract
This paper uses Social networks analysis (SNA) to study the civil-court case-law on intermediary liability in Argentina. It is a relatively recent contentious phenomenon, that was guided by claims that followed similar factual patterns and that presented Argentinean judges with new problems. Because there was no specific regulation, they had to resort to old constitutional principles on freedom of expression and general principles of civil law. Based on an original analysis of a dataset construed around these cases, the paper tells the story of that case-law, its evolution, the problems it solved and the ones that it left unanswered.
