9th Circ. Restores Snapchat Speed Filter Death Suit
Law360 (May 4, 2021, 4:46 PM EDT) The Ninth Circuit on Tuesday revived a suit alleging that Snapchat s Speed Filter influenced three boys to get into a fatal high-speed car wreck, saying that the Communications Decency Act does not shield the app s creator from claims about the design of the app itself.
The panel reversed a dismissal order that found that Carly Lemmon, Michael Morby, and Samantha and Marlo Brown, the parents of two of the boys, could not sue Snap Inc. because of the CDA s provision granting immunity to internet platforms in claims over third-party content.

Perspective by Dan O’Donnell
The strength of conservatism in Wisconsin has always rested in its grassroots, particularly in the WOW Counties, and last night once again proved its strength when it is well-organized and motivated.
Superintendent
While liberal Jill Underly easily won the State Superintendent race, this was no surprise. No teachers union-backed candidate has lost this race in at least 20 years, and her allies dumped more money in support of her and against her opponent than had ever been spent in total on a Superintendent election.
In addition, her opponent Brown Deer Superintendent Deborah Kerr was no conservative. She is a partisan Democrat who recognized that she needed to move to the right in the general election in order to have any prayer of winning. This was so odious to her and her core supporters that her campaign manager actually quit instead of daring to court conservative votes.
