Everytown Law is about to get a lesson on how Section 230 works.

Pretty sure SCOTUS has a case they’re hearing currently that may very well change the scope of section 230 so I’d maybe reserve your quips until after that shakes out lol

The two big cases this year were already decided: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter,_Inc._v._Taamneh and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzalez_v._Google_LLC

Although both dodged the S230 claims, both made it clear that Twitter and Google, respectively, had no liability.

Is there another case I missed?

Ah, to be based on selective history and tradition.

Big tech says no.

This isn't the first time they've forgotten how various laws work. And they keep losing. Kinda makes you wonder if it's intentional or not.

I don't really know what their goal is here. Surely they're not stupid enough to think they could actually win this?
