Supreme Court Won’t Hear Yelp Case With Section 230 Implications

The Supreme Court declined Tuesday to hear a case in which the California Supreme Court ruled Yelp can’t be forced to remove negative third-party reviews from its site (see 1807030023). Engine Org Executive Director Evan Engstrom applauded the high court's certiorari denial of Hassell v. Yelp, saying Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act ensures startups don’t face “ruinous liability for the speech of their users.”
