“The Supreme Court on Tuesday said it will not consider whether the LGBTQ dating app Grindr could be held liable for matching a teenager with adult men who sexually assaulted him. It means the justices won’t wade into a new fight over Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which gives [sic] tech firms broad immunity from legal challenges over user-generated content. John Doe, the anonymous petitioner, wrote in his appeal to the justices that he was 15 years old when he signed up for Grindr, representing he was an adult. Over four days in April 2019, the app matched him with four adult men, who each raped him on consecutive days, he alleges.” [editor’s note: Section 230 doesn’t “give tech firms broad immunity.” They are not the publishers of content published by others whether Section 230 says so or not – TLK] (10/14/25)
