    Before “although the text of § 230(c)(1) grants immunity only from publisher or speaker liability.”

    After “although, in Justice Thomas's reading, the text of § 230(c)(1) grants immunity only from publisher or speaker liability.”

    Why: This source note states one side of a contested interpretive question as settled fact. Justice Thomas's statement argues the text of § 230(c)(1) is narrower than Zeran's reading. The note adopts that view in the page's own voice. The rest of the entry describes the broad reading neutrally. The note should attribute the claim to Justice Thomas (for example, 'which Justice Thomas argued...'). It should also say that Zeran's reading was widely adopted by later courts, which the Hudson source supports.
