- turtlesdown11 7mo ago> Liability Product liability is a subdivision of tort law that allows for recovery for damages caused by the makers or distributors of a product. This case has nothing to do with Section 230, the plaintiff successfully argued that the product was defectively designed and caused harm to the plaintiff. Section 230 immunity is not a shield against all liability, it's only a shield against hosting problematic user content.
