Against Products Liability Claims by Kenneth L. Chernof, John D. Lombardo, Andrew K. Solow, David J. Weiner, Patrick Hall, Michael Kientzle, Mollie DiBrell, Kathleen M. McCarte and Amanda J. Raines The Ninth Circuit's recent holding in Lemmon v. Snap, Inc., No. 20-55295 (9th Cir. May 4, 2021), raises questions about the scope of immunity afforded to internet companies under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Section 230 provides that "[n]o provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1). Put simply, internet companies are not liable for third-party content published on their platforms. https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/telecoms-mobile-cable-communications/1076180/communications-decency-act-section-230-does-not-immunize-snap-inc-against-products-liability-claims?email_access=on

The May 31, 2021 article entitled "$7 Million Digital Advertising Scam: Russian Man Convicted" included these comments about the conviction "by a federal jury of four charges - including wire fraud and money laundering - as part of the so-called Methbot scheme" https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/advertising-marketing-branding/1075824/king-of-fraud-is-convicted-of-7-million-digital-advertising-scam?email_access=on/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)
