Courts Are Now Redrawing the Rules for Big Tech

The legal protection for internet platforms in the United States, primarily through Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, is shifting through court rulings. Companies like Meta and Google are at the forefront of this change, with juries finding them liable in child safety and personal injury cases. Lawyers are aiming to sidestep Section 230 by targeting specific features of the platforms, as AI tools blur the lines between hosting information and actively creating content.
