Google Loses Two Section 230(c)(2) Rulings–Spy Phone v. Google and Darnaa v. Google
19 11 2016Section 230(c)(2) doesn’t get a lot of love from practitioners or academics because it doesn’t get a lot of love in court. At the motion to dismiss stage, plaintiffs often can get past a Section 230(c)(2) defense by alleging the defendant’s bad faith, as these two recent Northern District of California rulings against Google illustrate:
Spy Phone Labs LLC v. Google Inc., 2016 WL 6025469 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 14, 2016)
Darnaa, LLC v. Google, Inc., 2016 WL 6540452 (N.D. Cal. Nov. 2, 2016)
