SIIA Joins Amicus Brief in Anderson v. TikTok to Defend Free Speech and Online Innovation

SIIA has joined an amicus brief in the case Anderson v. TikTok, aligning with several organizations to advocate for protecting free speech and maintaining a balanced legal framework for online platforms. The brief, filed in support of TikTok and similar platforms, challenges the application of certain legal theories that could impose undue liability on platforms for third-party content. This case highlights broader concerns around the future of internet governance, innovation, and the need to preserve the principles of Section 230, which shields platforms from being held liable for user-generated content. SIIA's involvement underscores its commitment to fostering a free and open digital environment.
