The appeals court ruled Section 230 provides a liability defense, not immunity, making Meta's appeal premature

By Diana Novak Jones Aug 10 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Monday allowed thousands of lawsuits to move forward against Meta Platforms, Alphabet's Google, ByteDance's TikTok, and other social

A U.S. appeals court on Monday allowed thousands of lawsuits to move forward against Meta Platforms, Alphabet's Google, ByteDance's TikTok, and other social media companies over claims they designed their products to be addictive to young ‌users. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the companies’ bid to reverse a lower court’s ruling forcing them to ‌face some 2,400 lawsuits over the claims filed in federal court. The companies, which also include Snap Inc's Snapchat, had argued that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 -  which ​shields them from lawsuits over content posted by their users - also shields them from allegations that they failed to warn the public about the addictive nature of their platforms.

On the latest episode of the AI Investor Podcast, 24/7 Wall St. Analyst Austin Smith opens with a puzzle: two companies are being treated in opposite ways for the same underlying behavior. Microsoft is up roughly 16% after Azure growth accelerated from 38% to 43%, with guidance pointing to 45–46%, vindicating a capex program the market had criticized. Meta, meanwhile, is down about 10% at roughly 20x earnings despite 28% top-line growth — and is being punished for the same infrastructure spending, even after Zuckerberg argued that Meta rents out compute at a markup over its cost. Co-host Eric Bleeker's answer is that both moves are likely overreactions, and that the real variable is what each company said versus what Wall Street wanted to hear. Microsoft delivered on message: Azure at a $124 billion run rate, 90% of cloud demand coming from outside the frontier labs, and no capex increase. He frames Microsoft's position as a prisoner's dilemma, since compute routed to Azure is compute unavailable for its own AI products, and argues Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella relented under pressure from prior quarters. He compares the market's discomfort with capex growth to Apple's mid-decade smartphone choppiness versus Google's steadier trajectory. Meta hit every wrong note: an EPS miss on one-time costs, decelerating guidance, Zuckerberg walking back the cloud-capacity revenue opportunity, and incremental compute directed toward Meta Superintelligence rather than the core ad business. Eric estimates the justified moves were only a few percent in either direction, with the rest attributable to PR and positioning. He credits Microsoft's software exposure as valuable diversification, but concludes the share-price gap doesn't reflect any real difference in business trajectory.
