The part you quote is from a minority opinion. The majority decision was that linking to content does not constitute publication of that content, period.

At least in terms of literacy, the US tends to fail on the lowest levels of competency, but excels at the highest level of competency. Only Sweden does better.

Though I don't know that I'd trust a test for high levels of literacy presented by an organization who would write something like:

"Of the 11 other countries that participated in the International Adult Literacy Survey (IALS), only Sweden exceeded the United States in the percentage of adults scoring at the highest levels of literacy in any of the three domains; the only exception was Canada, which had a greater proportion of adults scoring at or above level 4 on the document scale than did the United States."

Which is a horribly convoluted way of expressing the idea that Canada and Sweden are the only two countries which exceeded the United States in the percentage of adults scoring at the highest levels in any of the three domains. It also leads the reader to believe that Canada only exceeded the US on the document scale, but if you check the table in the report Canada had a higher percentage of people scoring at the top level in two out of the three scales. (Possibly the difference of 0.3% was considered small enough to fall within the survey's margin of error, but the report doesn't say anything about what the margin of error is. It also doesn't explain why they group levels 4 and 5 together, which seems curious.)
