R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) dismissal, as barred by the Communications Decency Act (CDA), is reversed where because plaintiff's claim did not seek to hold defendant liable as the 'publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider,' 47 U.S.C. section 230(c)(1), the CDA did not bar the claim.
