United States Ninth Circuit


Barnes v. Yahoo!, Inc., 05-36189

In a Communications Decency Act action against Defendant internet service provider for failing to remove pictures of Plaintiff from its site, the dismissal of the complaint is affirmed in part, where the CDA protects ISPs from being treated as "speakers" or "publishers" of prohibited content, but reversed in part, where the District Court had yet to decide on Plaintiff's promissory estoppel claim.
