SCOTUS avoided a sweeping ruling on Thursday that would have unraveled long-held legal protections internet companies enjoy and that shield them from litigation relating to content posted by users online.
The justices, in a brief unsigned decision, did not address the legal question of whether liability protections enshrined in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act safeguarded Big Tech companies against lawsuits brought under an anti-terrorism law.Justices did not make a determination on Section 230 in Gonzalez v. Google, a case surrounding allegations that YouTube was liable for recommending videos promoting violent militant Islam.
As a result, both lawsuits against Twitter and Google, the parent company of YouTube, will likely be dismissed without the need to address dicey Section 230 questions. In Taamneh, Twitter was accused of aiding and abetting the spread of militant Islamist ideas in a way that contributed to the death of a Jordanian citizen who died in a terrorist attack.
