Summary
That law allows internet sites to police message boards and other user postings without incurring potential liability as a publisher of the content.“The government cannot plausibly be said to have compelled Twitter’s action through Section 230, which in any event imposed no affirmative obligations on Twitter to act in any particular way,” the judge wrote.A spokesperson for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the ruling, which could be appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.Trump’s suits against Facebook and YouTube remain pending.The former president’s lawyers first filed all three cases in federal court in South Florida, but judges there granted motions by the social media firms to transfer the suits to Northern California in accordance with the fine-print terms of service issued by each site.
