Facebook Could Be Held Liable For Sex Trafficking on Its Platform, Court Rules

June 28, 2021 by Staff

(Fox Business) The Texas Supreme Court ruled Friday that Facebook can be held liable if sex traffickers use the platform to prey on children.

The state court ruled that Facebook is not a “lawless no-man’s-land” and could be held accountable following three Texas-based lawsuits that involved teenage sex traffic victims, the Houston Chronicle first reported. 

The victims were reportedly preyed on through the social media platform’s messaging system – prompting prosecutors to claim the site was negligent in not better blocking sex trafficking opportunities.

Facebook contended that it is protected under Section 230 – an internet law that says online platforms are not responsible for third–party content posted on the service’s site.
