Supreme Court will review Section 230 protections for Big Tech

Published October 3, 2022 12:00am ET



The Supreme Court agreed to take up two cases that could challenge Big Tech companies’ legal protections.

The court agreed on Monday to take up Gonzalez v. Google and Twitter v. Taamneh, cases that could allow the court to change Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, legislation that protects websites on the internet from being held liable for the content posted by users. Recently the law has come under fire from conservatives claiming that it allows websites to censor them with impunity.
