Ninth Circuit blocks immediate appeal of Meta Section 230 denial

Ninth Circuit blocks immediate appeal of Meta Section 230 denial Image: Primary
A Ninth Circuit three-judge panel held that Meta could not immediately appeal a district court's denial of Section 230 immunity in social-media addiction litigation, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The panel treated the protection as immunity from ultimate liability rather than immunity from suit, leaving the affected claims to continue through litigation before a later appeal. The underlying district-court ruling applied Section 230 to some platform features but not others.
