ORDER LARGELY DENYING IN PART META'S MOTION TO DISMISS

Opinion title

The court granted in part and denied in part Meta’s motion. Section 230 barred specified content-presentation theories, while other theories—including certain filters, time-restriction obstacles, multiple accounts, COPPA, misrepresentation, and failure-to-warn claims—survived at the pleading stage. Shows that many claims proceeded but with material limits; survival of a pleading challenge is not proof of the allegations.
