RDDT's ad growth, AI-powered Reddit Max, and expanding advertiser base strengthen its push against Meta and Snap.

The appeals court ruled Section 230 provides a liability defense, not immunity, making Meta's appeal premature
A U.S. appeals court on Monday allowed thousands of lawsuits to move forward against Meta Platforms, Alphabet's Google, ByteDance's TikTok, and other social media companies over claims they designed their products to be addictive to young users. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the companies’ bid to reverse a lower court’s ruling forcing them to face some 2,400 lawsuits over the claims filed in federal court. The companies, which also include Snap Inc's Snapchat, had argued that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 - which shields them from lawsuits over content posted by their users - also shields them from allegations that they failed to warn the public about the addictive nature of their platforms.

Snap stock popped after it reported earnings, but soon crackled as the gains disappeared. Shares of Snap initially jumped 15% on Tuesday following its earnings release, as investors cheered stronger-than-expected revenue and earnings.
