In 2021, a California state court threw out a feminist blogger's lawsuit accusing Twitter Inc of unlawfully barring as 'hateful conduct' posts criticizing transgender people. In 2022, a federal court in California tossed a lawsuit by LGBT plaintiffs accusing YouTube, part of Alphabet Inc , of restricting content posted by gay and transgender people.
The justices will hear arguments in an appeal by the family of Nohemi Gonzalez, a 23-year-old woman from California shot dead during a 2015 rampage by Islamist militants in Paris, of a lower court's ruling dismissing a lawsuit against YouTube's owner Google LLC seeking monetary damages, citing Section 230. Google and YouTube are part of Alphabet.
It could threaten services as varied as search engines, job listings, product reviews and displays of relevant news, songs or entertainment, they added. "It's a huge 'get out of jail free' card," Michigan State University law professor Adam Candeub said of Section 230. "You could have a situation where two sides of a very controversial issue could be suing a platform," said Scott Wilkens, an attorney at Columbia University's Knight First Amendment Institute.
The 2016 lawsuit by her mother Beatriz Gonzalez, stepfather Jose Hernandez and other relatives accused YouTube of providing "material support" to Islamic State in part by recommending the group's videos to certain users based on algorithmic predictions about their interests. The recommendations helped spread Islamic State's message and recruit jihadist fighters, the lawsuit said.
