Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether the exception to CDA immunity contained in 47 U.S.C. § 230(e)(5)(A)—which states "Nothing in this section (other than subsection (c)(2)(A)) shall be construed to impair or limit--any claim in a civil action brought under section 1595 of title 18, if the conduct underlying the claim constitutes a violation of section 1591 of that title"—is limited solely to Section 1595 claims where the defendant itself has committed a predicate violation of Section 1591, even though Section 1595 also makes a defendant liable where it "knowingly benefits" "from participation in a venture" with a third party whose conduct violated Section 1591.
