‘A Disastrous Effect’: Landmark Supreme Court Case Could Muzzle The Internet, Experts Warn

A Supreme Court case challenging Section 230, which has unilaterally protected tech companies from legal action in the past, could potentially lead to “disastrous” changes regarding how companies suggest content to their users, according to some experts.
 

In 2015, 12 shooters killed 130 people in Paris in a coordinated terror attack, and several of the victims’ relatives filed a lawsuit against Google claiming that the company’s algorithms created a rabbit hole radicalizing the terrorists, according to LawFare. If the Supreme Court were to rule in favor of Reynaldo Gonzales, one of the family members of the victims, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation that there would be a lot less speech in general and that the way we have traditionally understood the internet would completely change.

Chris Marchese, general counsel for NetChoice, a free speech advocate tech company with clients like Amazon, TikTok and Lyft, who is fighting similar cases in Texas and Florida, told the DCNF the “ramifications of this case for the internet are really severe.”
