9th Circuit Keeps Meta’s $1.4T Lawsuit On Track Over Section 230

TL;DR
The 9th Circuit ruled that Section 230 provides a defense to liability, not immunity from suit, allowing the massive state-led consumer-protection case against Meta (and co-defendant TikTok) to proceed to trial; jury selection begins Aug 12 and the trial starts Aug 19, with potential damages cited by the states exceeding $1.4 trillion.
