Meta and TikTok sought immediate appellate review of lower court decisions involving Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. The appeals court said Section 230 operates as a defense against liability, not as immunity from facing a lawsuit. As a result, the court found that the companies could not pursue the appeal at this stage. The decision did not determine whether Section 230 will ultimately block any claims. It instead allowed the federal proceedings to continue under the existing trial court orders.
