The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit was urged Tuesday to revive defective product and design claims brought against Grindr after a teenage boy was sexually assaulted by a man he met through the platform.

Attorney Carrie Goldberg told the panel that Section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act—which protects social media companies from liability for third-party content posted on their sites—doesn’t apply to her client John Doe’s case since the allegations turn on the design of Grindr’s app and don’t treat the company as a company or speaker.
