On February 8th, 2019, the District Court for the District of South Carolina Division granted Twitter’s motion to dismiss an action filed by a Twitter user whose account was suspended after publishing a tweet criticizing Islam that allegedly violated the platform’s Hate Speech policy. The plaintiff, Mr. Cox, presented a pro se complaint (acting on his own behalf) seeking monetary damages and certain specified declaratory and/or injunctive relief for suspending his account. However, Twitter, in its motion to dismiss, argued the plaintiff’s failure to establish that he had suffered any damages as a result of any actions by the platform. In its decision, the Court determined that Twitter qualified for Section 230(c)(2)(A) of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) safe harbor since the platform conducted publishing activity. Thus, the Court determined Mr. Cox’s claims to hold Twitter liable for exercising its editorial judgment to suspend his account were barred under the CDA.
