Chat service Omegle is on the hook for a lawsuit<\/a> after its matching system paired an 11-year-old girl with a man who then sexually abused her. A district judge in Portland, Oregon, said the company\u2019s system<\/a> wasn\u2019t protected by the legal shield that covers much user-generated content. The case isn\u2019t concluded, but it opens the door to more prosecutions based on how a platform designs its services.<\/p>\n
The legal complaint<\/a>, filed late last year, alleges that Omegle\u2019s service was defective and falsely represented. It\u2019s a common strategy that\u2019s often failed in court before, including with Grindr in a harassment case<\/a>, typically due to the legal protections of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. This time, however, Judge Michael Mosman determined that the lawsuit targeted functions specifically designed by Omegle rather than speech by other users on the platform.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOmegle could have satisfied its alleged obligation … by designing a product so that it did not match minors and adults\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n\u201cOmegle could have satisfied its alleged obligation … by designing its product differently \u2014 for example, by designing a product so that it did not match minors and adults,\u201d wrote Mosman. \u201cWhat matters for purposes of those claims is that the warnings or design of the product at issue led to the interaction between an eleven-year-old girl and a sexual predator in his late thirties.\u201d That was independent of the actual content sent by either party, something that Omegle could more clearly argue it wasn\u2019t responsible for.<\/p>\nThe opinion cites a Ninth Circuit case that determined Snap could be sued<\/a> for its Snapchat \u201cspeed filter,\u201d which displayed how fast a user was moving and \u2014 according to a lawsuit \u2014 encouraged people to reach unsafe speeds that led to car crashes. (Snap removed the feature<\/a> last June.)<\/p>\n
This doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that either suit will ultimately prevail. The ruling also threw out some claims in the case, including one that relied on FOSTA-SESTA, a Section 230 exception allowing lawsuits based on federal trafficking statutes. (The court held that this case was based on state law, which the judge determined wasn\u2019t covered by the rule.)<\/p>\n
But the judge\u2019s reasoning gets around the early dismissals that Section 230 often allows, something that\u2019s a benefit in cases involving frivolous lawsuits but that critics have argued short-circuits valid claims. It bolsters a strategy favored by C.A. Goldberg, the victims\u2019 rights-focused legal practice behind this suit and the failed case against Grindr (among other cases). And if the decision is upheld by higher courts, it could become one of multiple suits that sets up a battle over Section 230 in the Supreme Court \u2014 where some justices appear open to reconsidering<\/a> the rule\u2019s scope.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
