The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has refined the contours of the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. Section 230.
In Anderson v. TikTok, Inc.
In Anderson v. TikTok, Inc., the Third Circuit held that the liability of an Internet Service Provider such as TikTok depended on whether TikTok was sharing content via the platform’s algorithm or engaged in something more. The question of whether TikTok’s recommendation algorithm transformed content into TikTok’s own expressive activity was not immunized by Section 230 and has disrupted the protection previously enjoyed by Internet platforms like TikTok.

Despite widespread investment into AI across the legal industry, just a small group of law firms are consistently realizing measurable returns in operational speed, financial visibility and revenue performance, according to a new report from Law.com and legal industry technology provider Elite.
Most firms are aiming their newest tools at the work they already do — pouring their most powerful technology into running the same tasks a little faster. But when everyone automates the same tasks at once, no one pulls ahead. That reaches the future a little faster while leaving a firm’s largest opportunity untouched — and that opportunity isn’t doing more of the existing work, but transforming how the high-value work gets done.
AI is becoming both an accelerant and a distraction for cybersecurity. In many respects, AI is acting as a stress test for existing security operations by exposing how difficult many organizations still find it to enforce basic controls consistently at scale.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly embedding itself into legal workflows, but much of the conversation treats all use cases as if they carry the same level of risk, even if they do not. The more useful question is not whether AI works, but where it can be safely applied and where it cannot.
