Website Messageboard Owners Not Responsible For Comments
Sleep well, Fred!Myelectionanalysis.com: "Today the Eastern District of Pennsylvania handed down its decision in DiMeo v. Max. As always when reading my analysis, see the standard disclaimer in my about section... ...But underneath the rhetoric is a sound, well-reasoned, and important opinion. It squarely holds that a messageboard owner cannot be held liable for posts made by others on his board under the Communications Decency Act. More importantly, it applies the CDA to the VAWA Amendments discussed here, and makes clear that those Amendments dont apply to an internet service provider. It also heavily implies that there is no private cause of action to begin with. These are important decisions for shielding site owners (such as yours truly) from lawsuits for things a commenter says, especially those that get more traffic than yours truly. Seriously, read the whole thing. It will be well worth your while." HT to Instapundit Posted by: Frank G 2006-05-27 |
