Volokh Conspiracy : 2023 Twitter v. Taamneh ruling will have major influence in two categories of future cases.
He says it will affect cases in which plaintiffs seek to hold platforms liable for unlawful material posted by users.
He argues that ignoring those connections may cause cases in one area of law to distort outcomes in the other.
Volokhan: Platforms generally have less motivation to defend speech than users' rights.
In Taamneh , the Court struck down a law that held bookstores strictly liable for obscene books, noting that such unbounded liability would lead booksellers to err on the side of caution.
The resulting "censorship affecting the whole public" would be attributable to state action, and "hardly less virulent for being privately administered".
