Section 230 Applies to Defend Trade Secret Act Claims–Craft Beer Stellar v. Glassdoor

Glassdoor is a consumer review site for employees reviewing employers. The plaintiff in this case is a franchisor. Purported employees of a franchisee posted six negative reviews about the franchisee on Glassdoor. The reviews mentioned the francishor’s CEO,  Suzanne Schalow, by name. Schalow sent removal demands. Glassdoor removed one of the reviews, but someone (the author?) revised and resubmitted the review. Glassdoor refused to remove the edited review because it met Glassdoor’s standards. The franchisor sued Glassdoor for numerous claims. Glassdoor defended on Section 230 grounds. From Technology & Marketing Law Blog.
