Description: Nohemi Gonzalez was killed by an ISIS terror attack in 2015. Gonzalez\u2019s relatives brought an action against Google, which owns YouTube, alleging that Google, through YouTube, materially assisted, and aided and abetted, ISIS, in violation of the AntiTerrorism Act, by knowingly permitting ISIS to post radicalizing videos on YouTube. Specifically, Gonzalez alleges that \u201cGoogle affirmatively recommended ISIS videos to users.\u201d The district court dismissed the complaint on the ground that section 230 of the Communications Decency Act barred Gonzalez\u2019s claims. The court of appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed and the Supreme
\nCourt granted certiorari.<\/p>\n

Professor Eugene Volokh of UCLA has filed an amicus brief on behalf of Google. Daniel Suhr of the Liberty Justice Center has done so on behalf of Gonzalez. Please join the UCLA chapter of the Federalist Society and the UCLA Institute of Technology, Law, and Policy for a lively debate on this timely issue and the fate of section 230.<\/p>\n

Food provided for UCLA School of Law students who RSVP before February 24, 2023.<\/p>\n
