N.Y. Appellate Court Holds That Section 230 And First Amendment Protect Social Media Algorithmic Content Recommendation
In Patterson v. Meta Platforms, Inc., the New York Appellate Division, Fourth Department, held in a split decision that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act ("Section 230")––a federal statute that prohibits treating providers of "interactive computer services" as publishers of third-party content ––barred tort causes of action that sought to hold several social media companies liable for their algorithmic content recommendations.
