SCOTUS hits “skip” on Section 230

The Supreme Court has ruled against hearing a case that could have drawn new boundaries for Section 230, the law protecting online platforms from liability for content they host. In Gonzalez v. Google, the court declined to address Section 230 and sent the case back down to the appeals court level to definitively rule on the terrorism claim. The ruling leaves open questions about the future of Section 230 reform, with some senators advancing new related legislation aimed at protecting children online.
