#Lawfare now has an analysis up on this: https://www.lawfareblog.com/supreme-court-punts-section-230

Pointing out that there are other cases that may force decisions in the future, but that aren't so weird or tied to anti-terrorism legislation. They may or may not be less scary for rulings, but at least they aren't tied into the morass of stuff that this decision could have been.

The #EFF has their own take as well: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/05/internet-dodges-censorship-supreme-court saying "The court’s refusal […] is a big relief."

So what did people think of the #gonzalezvgoogle #sec230 oral arguments this morning?

The Supreme Court battle for Section 230 has begun https://www.theverge.com/2022/12/1/23487958/supreme-court-gonzalez-google-twitter-taamneh-section-230 "The court’s final ruling will determine web services’ liability for hosting illegal activity, particularly if they promote it with algorithmic recommendations." The ruling could affect most social media, possibly even search engines, but probably wouldn't affect #Mastodon, which doesn't use those types of #algorithms to display content. #SocialMedia #Sec230
