tl;dr: A California federal court dismissed a lawsuit alleging Apple's failure to scan iCloud for CSAM constitutes a design defect, ruling Section 230 immunizes Apple because the claims treat it as a publisher of third-party content. Judge Wise sided with Apple but expressed unease, suggesting lawmakers—not courts—must mandate CSAM scanning if they want it, while acknowledging the significant privacy tradeoffs of breaking end-to-end encryption. The case is now positioned for Ninth Circuit appeal.
