The U.S. Supreme Court's new term began this week. In addition to the cases the court announced it would take up, it also declined many others, including two that asked the justices to consider and potentially reevaluate a cornerstone of the modern internet.
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act holds that "no provider or user" of a website or online service "shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another" user, nor shall they "be held liable" for any moderation decisions "voluntarily taken in good faith."
