Supreme Court justices expressed concern about the potential unintended consequences of redefining the scope of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) during their first major oral hearing of a Section 230 case.
The case, Gonzalez v. Google LLC, could change the scope of Section 230 and potentially redefine some of the immunization online platforms currently receive when they recommend content to users via their algorithms.
The case centers around Section 230 (c)(1) which prevents providers of “interactive computer services” (a term that includes apps, websites, and online platforms) from being treated as the publisher or speaker of content posted by their users.
It questions whether this immunization should apply to interactive computer services when they make “targeted recommendations” to users.
