Supreme Court Declines to Hear Snapchat Liability Case in Teen Abuse Incident

The decision leaves unresolved questions about social media companies' responsibility for user-generated content under Section 230.

The Supreme Court refused to revive a lawsuit against Snapchat by a Texas teen abused by his teacher.
Lower courts dismissed the case, citing Section 230, which protects internet companies from liability for user content.
Justices Thomas and Gorsuch dissented, arguing the need to review the scope of Section 230 immunity.
The case has sparked broader debates on whether social media platforms should be accountable for their own actions.
Calls for reforming Section 230 come from across the political spectrum, including both major parties' leaders.
