A District Court in Seattle, the United States dismissed a social media platform’s application for a preliminary injunction to prevent its web hosting service suspending those services. After the riots at the US Capitol in January 2021, the web hosting service informed the social media platform that it had breached the service level agreement and acceptable use policy by not taking action against posts on the platform which incited violence. The social media platform then approached the Court, arguing that by suspending the service the web hosting service had, inter alia, breached the contract between them. The Court held that the social media platform had failed to meet the requirements for a preliminary injunction, and emphasized that it was in the public interest to not privilege abusive and harmful social media content over contractual obligations.
