Meta, Google under attack as court cases bypass 30-year-old legal shield
"A jury in New Mexico found Meta liable in a case involving child safety, while jurors in Los Angeles held the Facebook parent and Google's YouTube negligent in a personal injury trial."
"The plaintiffs' bar is winning the war against section 230 through systematic legal challenges that question the protections afforded to major tech companies."
Meta and Google are currently facing multiple lawsuits that challenge their long-standing legal protections under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. This law has historically shielded internet companies from liability for user-generated content. Recent jury verdicts have found Meta liable for child safety issues and held both Meta and YouTube negligent in personal injury cases. Additionally, a class action lawsuit has been filed against Google, arguing that its AI Mode is not a neutral platform, further complicating the legal landscape for these tech giants.
