In Anderson v. TikTok, the Third Circuit Applies Questionable First Amendment Reasoning to Arrive at the Correct Section 230 Outcome

The opinion correctly held that Section 230 did not bar the claims to the extent that they alleged TikTok’s own algorithmic design caused the tragic circumstances, but it arrived at its decision through a questionable First Amendment analysis instead of careful Section 230 reasoning. TikTok is now asking the entire Third Circuit to re-hear the case and overturn the initial ruling.
