Abstract

The article argues that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act is being misapplied by tech companies like Omegle to avoid liability in cases involving child sexual exploitation and product liability. It contends that Section 230 immunity should not shield companies when claims pertain to product design flaws and trafficking, emphasizing the need for courts to recognize the distinction between content moderation and product-related harms.
