US judge allows most social casino app claims against Apple, Google and Meta to proceed
US District Judge Edward Davila rejected Apple, Google and Meta’s bid to dismiss most claims alleging they promoted illegal gambling through social casino apps, according to the report. He ruled that Section 230 did not shield the companies from claims concerning payment processing, while dismissing some state-law claims. The companies may immediately appeal to the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals.
The ruling allows most consumer-protection claims over social casino app payments to continue against the technology companies.
