One immediately thinks, for example, of Congress’ awful decision to immunize the tobacco industry from lawsuits. Airline immunity from lawsuits also comes to mind. The topics come to mind because a blog post pointed out a new California Supreme Court ruling which applies a federal statute to grant an online platforms  immunity from civil actions for materials posted online. The summary is an August 10, 2018 post from Perkins Coie.
