I was wondering the same thing. Unlike Fuzzy Zoeller
where individual
editors were sued, this seems to be the first time a case against the WMF
has come to trial, and therefore the first time the application of s. 230 to
Wikipedia has been tested in court.
I just asked Mike Godwin, this is the first s230 case involving
Wikpedia. Fuzzy Zoeller didn't even try to sue Wikipedia, he went
straight to the person he believed was defaming him (or the business
that had the IP).
