The Computer & Communications Industry Association has filed an amicus curiae letter urging a California appeals court to reverse a lower court ruling that could weaken key legal protections for online services. The case stems from a trial court ruling allowing age-discrimination claims to proceed against Google’s targeted advertising under California law. CCIA argues that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act provides critical protections for online intermediaries and shields platforms from liability for third-party content, warning that the lower court’s ruling could improperly expand liability to online services that use neutral tools and algorithms to organize, recommend, or display user-generated content, including advertising.
