Researcher's 'unfollow everything' lawsuit against Meta gets dismissed
Briefly

Ethan Zuckerman's attempt to use Section 230 to create a Facebook feed-curating tool was dismissed, highlighting ongoing tensions between tech platform control and user empowerment.
Zuckerman's initiative builds on 'Unfollow Everything', emphasizing a growing demand for user-controlled social media experiences amid increasing platform regulations.
While disappointed by the dismissal, Zuckerman's team plans to argue that Section 230 should protect tools enabling users to filter content they deem objectionable.
Meta's history of disabling accounts for research purposes raises questions about platform accountability and the balance of power between users and tech giants.
