Supreme Court avoids ruling on law shielding internet companies from being sued for what users post
- The US Supreme Court did not address the challenge to federal protections for internet and social media companies that prevent them from being held liable for content posted by users.
- The case involved a lawsuit against Google and their video-sharing platform YouTube filed by the family of a victim in an Islamic State attack in Paris in 2015.
- The Court returned the lawsuit to a lower court, finding that neither Google nor Twitter had any underlying liability to need the protections of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
