Court Upholds Apple’s Immunity Over iCloud CSAM Scanning Claims
A U.S. court dismissed claims that Apple was liable for not scanning iCloud storage for child sexual abuse material (CSAM), finding the allegations were barred by Section 230. The judge held that the lawsuit targeted Apple’s role as a publisher and its product-design choices tied to third-party content distribution, and rejected attempts to fit the case into newer Section 230 exceptions.
