The Supreme Court passed up the chance on Thursday to take a case that many believe could have changed social media and the Internet forever.

The nation’s highest court did not take a case that could have clarified the scope of the federal liability shield known as Section 230, which protects internet companies from many legal claims regarding content posted by users.

“In a pair of rulings Thursday morning, the justices shut down lawsuits seeking to hold giants like Google and Twitter liable for terrorism-promoting content on their platforms, but the court nixed the suits without issuing any sweeping pronouncements on the immunity provision that has come under increasing fire from both Republicans and Democrats,” Politico reported.
