John Doe #1 and John Doe #2 v. Twitter, Inc.
May 13, 2024
U.S. Court Of Appeals for the 9th Circuit
21–CV–0485

CHILD USA, together with experts Hillary Nappi, Esq. and Mary Liu, Esq. filed this amicus brief in support of Plaintiffs-Appellants and seeking reversal of the District Court’s decision finding that Section 230 of the CDA barred Plaintiffs-Appellants’ beneficiary-liability sex trafficking claims, products liability claim, and negligence per se claim based on Twitter’s failure to report known CSAM on its platform. Amici argue, among other things, that there is nothing in Section 230’s text or legislative history that shields online platforms like Twitter from liability based on their own misconduct.
