So who should be liable here?

Google restored links to the defamatory content but the content was unable to be removed from where it was hosted. Do you try to go after the person who posted the content? What if you cannot? It's easy to end up in a place where victims have no recourse because Section 230 protects the platforms and the original poster cannot be tracked down to answer for their libel.
