Prof. Jeff Kosseff Quoted by Tech Dirt About Section 230 Ruling

Professor Jeff Kosseff, Silha Professor of Media Ethics and Law, was quoted by Tech Dirt podcast about Section 230, which provides limited federal immunity to providers and users of interactive computer services. It was enacted as part of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. The Ninth Circuit ruled earlier this week that Section 230 is not an immunity from lawsuit. Prof. Kosseff said of the ruling, “In declining to provide interlocutory review of a denial of Section 230 protections to Meta, the Ninth Circuit misrepresented 230’s legislative history to conclude that 230 provides a defense to liability rather than immunity.”
