The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in two cases involving Section 230, the federal law that says tech platforms are not liable for what their users choose to post. One lawsuit is against Google and the other is against Twitter. Both lawsuits argue that tech companies should be liable for what their algorithms promote or suggest.
However, experts fear the court may not be equipped to handle the complex and evolving technology of Big Tech and content moderation, and may end up creating more controversies than they solve. The court may rule against the tech companies, but there is also a concern that the ruling could cause unforeseen issues in the future.
The court's history with technology has been mixed, and its method of solving problems by searching for one broad principle that lasts forever is at odds with complex tech issues.
