Dozens of orgs representing libraries, creators, & small businesses filed in landmark #internet cases #GonzalezvGoogle & #TwittervTaamneh asking #SCOTUS to protect websites from liability for 3rd-party content. Yesterday’s decisions were a win for #internet advocates everywhere.

Today, the Supreme Court issued decisions reinforcing the protection of free expression online. Decisions in #TwittervTaamneh & #GonzalezvGoogle represent a vital win for the #internet, its users, & the multi-trillion dollar #digital economy it supports.

In key wins for creators, #internet users, & #digital services hosting 3rd-party content, the Supreme Court today declined to hold websites liable for user-generated content.

CCIA is encouraged by the Court’s decisions in #TwittervTaamneh & #GonzalezvGoogle and is confident that these decisions will help settle this crucial aspect of #digital policy.

In the cases, #GonzalezVGoogle & #TwitterVTaamneh , the court could set new boundaries to interpret #Section230 of the #CommunicationsDecencyAct, a 1996 law that arguably supports the economic models of #SocialMedia & other interactive websites hosting #ThirdParty #content—& #Antiterrorism laws that allow victims of international #terrorist attacks to seek compensation from those who “#AidAndAbet” the assaults.

What we learned from 2 rounds of #SCOTUS arguments over #InternetLiability

The #SupremeCourt this wk wrestled w/arguments from #Google, #Twitter, & #Facebook (#META), in 2 sister cases that say the companies should be liable for “aiding & abetting” terrorist attacks allegedly tied to content posted to their platforms.
