Ninth Circuit Set to Decide High-Stakes Future of Calise v. Meta Platforms—What Could This Mean for Tech Giants?
The decision in Calise is once again before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in California. The lower court decision, much to the chagrin of Meta, was in favor of the Plaintiffs. The broad immunity afforded to Meta under Section 230 had finally been pierced at the District Court level. Counsel for the Plaintiffs had effectively circumvented immunity granted to Meta under Act 230 by arguing bedrock, long established precedent and principles found in simple contract law. Meta had violated its own contractual Terms of Service, Community Standards, and Advertising Standards to the detriment of Calise and others in the class.
