Supreme Court sidesteps ruling on scope of internet company immunity from lawsuits over user content

The YouTube lawsuit accused the Google-owned company of bearing some responsibility for the killing of Nohemi Gonzalez, an American college student, in the 2015 Paris attacks carried out by the Islamic State terrorist group. "We therefore decline to address the application of Section 230 to a complaint that appears to state little, if any, plausible claim for relief," the court added.
