   The Ninth Circuit's recent holding in Lemmon v. Snap, Inc.,   
   No. 20-55295 (9th Cir. May 4, 2021), raises questions about the scope   
   of immunity afforded to internet companies under Section 230 of the   
   Communications Decency Act. Section 230 provides that "[n]o provider   
   or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the   
   publisher or speaker of any information provided by another   
   information content provider." 47 U.S.C. ยง 230(c)(1). Put simply,   
   internet companies are not liable for third-party content published on   
   their platforms.
