Supreme Court of the United States

Gonzalez v. Google LLC

May 18, 2023598 U.S. 617

Summary

The Supreme Court vacated the Ninth Circuit’s judgment and remanded the case, holding that the plaintiffs’ secondary‑liability complaint fails to state a claim for aiding and abetting under 18 U.S.C. § 2333(d)(2) and that the Court will not address the application of § 230 because the complaint presents no plausible claim. The decision rests on the Court’s prior ruling in Twitter, Inc. v. Taamneh, which found the analogous complaint deficient.
