For the last three decades, internet giants have been able to avoid legal exposure for content on their platforms, thanks to a law that differentiates the companies from online publishers. But those safeguards appear to be weakening. Change has long been needed.
Meta and Google, which dominate the U.S. digital ad market, find themselves as defendants in a host of lawsuits that collectively serve to undermine the long-held notion that they have legal protection for what surfaces on their sites, apps and services. Companies like TikTok and Snap are in the same predicament.
The unifying aspect of the recent cases is that they’re crafted to circumventSection 230of the Communications Decency Act, which Congress passed in 1996 and President Bill Clinton signed into law. Established in the early days of the internet, the law protects websites from being sued over content posted by their users, and allows them to act as moderators without being held liable for what stays up.
Last week, ajury in New Mexicofound Meta liable in a case involving child safety, while jurors in Los Angeles held the Facebook parent and Google’s YouTubenegligent in a personal injury trial. Days after those verdicts were revealed, victims of the notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein filed aclass action lawsuitagainst Google and the Trump administration over allegations related to the wrongful disclosure of personal information.
In that complaint, the plaintiffs argue that Google’s AI Mode, which serves up AI-powered summaries and links, is “not a neutral search index,” a clear effort to make the case that Google isn’t just a platform sitting between users and the information they seek.
“The plaintiffs’ bar is winning the war against section 230 through systematic, relentless litigation that is causing there to be divots and chinks in its protection,” said Eric Goldman, a law professor at Santa Clara University School of Law, in an interview.
