MALWAREBYTES, INC. v. ENIGMA SOFTWARE 
GROUP USA, LLC 
Statement of THOMAS, J. 

more appropriate for an Internet-driven society. 

Extending §230 immunity beyond the natural reading of 
the text can have serious consequences.  Before giving com-
panies immunity from civil claims for “knowingly host[ing] 
illegal child pornography,” Bates, 2006 WL 3813758, *3, or 
for race discrimination, Sikhs for Justice, 697 Fed. Appx.,
at 526, we should be certain that is what the law demands. 
Without the benefit of briefing on the merits, we need not 
decide today the correct interpretation of §230.  But in an 
appropriate case, it behooves us to do so.
