Supreme Court rules in favor of ISPs

The United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of AOL today, and for once, a victory for AOL means good things for the rest of us. The lawsuit was about defamatory material on-line. In effect, the Court ruled that Internet service providers can not be held responsible for material posted on their systems. This upholds a prior federal court decision stemming from the CDA of 1996. This is very good news-meaning that the 1st Amendment can live another day.
