Twitter v. Taamneh and Gonzalez v. Google LLC. On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled against the family of a 2017 ISIS attack victim who had sued Twitter, Facebook, and Google in an effort to hold them liable for allowing ISIS to use their platforms. The court ruled unanimously that the lawsuit could not move forward. Along with that ruling, the justices sent Gonzalez v. Google LLC, a similar case, back to the lower courts. That decision sidestepped any major changes to the scope of Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, which shields tech companies from liability for content published by users. We previously covered these cases in February here.

0:55.1 | independent, nonpartisan subscriber-supported politics podcast where we summarize the best |
1:00.0 | arguments from across the political spectrum on the news of the day. And then I offer you |
1:04.8 | my take. Today, we are covering the Supreme Court's rulings in two cases with very high stakes for big tech and |
1:14.7 | social media companies and the degree to which they are liable for what users do on their |
1:20.4 | platforms. The rulings came down last week. We're going to talk about what happened, why they |
1:25.1 | matter, and some reactions to people from across the political |
1:28.6 | spectrum. It's a pretty unique one today, actually, because there is a lot of bipartisan |
1:33.6 | agreement on this, which is not typical, obviously, for stuff we cover, but also not typical |
1:38.7 | for a lot of these really high-stakes Supreme Court challenges. Before we jump in, though, as always, |
