Question Presented (from Petition)

Does Section 230 of the CDA immunize web site operators for their own negligent or tortious conduct from all civil lawsuits any time a third party has contributed to the injury caused?

AND

Does the inconsistent application of Section 230 of the CDA among the Circuit Courts of Appeal regarding the extent of immunity provided to website operators warrant action by the Supreme Court of the United States to clarify what conduct is protected by the statute?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Petitioner seeks review of whether Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act immunizes website operators from liability for their own negligent or tortious conduct when a third party has contributed to the injury caused, and whether the inconsistent application of Section 230 immunity across circuit courts warrants Supreme Court clarification
