SCOTUS Upholds Internet Shield for Big Tech, Leaves Section 230 Untouched

The Supreme Court declined to take up two high-profile cases on the tech industry's liability protections, leaving Congress to decide whether or how to revamp Section 230. While there is broad bipartisan support for chipping away or revoking Section 230 protections, there is limited agreement on how to do it. The court's decision puts pressure on Congress to settle any lingering concerns about Section 230, which protects digital services from lawsuits over user content. However, partisan disagreements over whether platforms take down too much or too little misleading content have hindered progress.
