Question Presented (from Petition)
(1) Does the Communications Decency Act § 230(c)(1), which protects interactive computer services from liability for traditional publication torts when they publish third party content, prevent well pleaded causes of action for non-publication torts – such as product liability, negligence, fraud, and failure to warn – as a matter of law?
(2) Whether, as the majority of the Federal Appellate Circuit Courts holds, invocation of the Communications Decency Act § 230(c)(1) is an affirmative defense and therefore inappropriate for resolution at the motion to dismiss stage?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Does the Communications Decency Act § 230(c)(1) prevent well pleaded causes of action for non-publication torts?
