    Companies are people until you want to press charges.

      ? Companies are held criminally liable for stuff sometimes, but what above posters seem to want is for the CEO to be held personally liable.

        Well, he did personally misuse the platform, but go for the company. Idk. I’m not a lawyer and I don’t know how 230 plays into this, but his actions could have led to an innocent person getting hurt.

          My b, I didn't realize he did it in his personal capacity.

        The CEO was the person who personally posted a $30,000 bounty encouraging vigilantes to apprehend an innocent person. The company he was "leading" broadcast that person's photo and name. He should be held personally liable in addition to the company being held liable.

      And people are companies until THEY want to press charges.

  Liable for what, exactly? Generally, if there is no harm, then there is no liability. In this case, there may be a case for defamation, but if the company only reported that the police were looking for a particular suspect, which was true, then maybe not.
