Apple defeats liability for not scanning iCloud for CSAM

Apple defeats liability for not scanning iCloud for CSAM Image: Primary
Apple defeated liability for not scanning iCloud for CSAM as the court dismissed the third amended complaint in Amy v. Apple. The court reiterated that Section 230 applies to the plaintiffs' claims, finding that Apple is entitled to complete immunity under the statute. Judge Wise expressed uneasiness about the implications, stating that nothing in the law prevents companies from utilizing available technology to identify and report child pornography, but there is no law that obligates them to do so.
