Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Regulated common carriers, such as telephone and internet service providers, are not held liable for the messages they transmit because they are considered mere conduits of information and do not have control over the content transmitted by their users. This is in contrast to private individuals, organizations, and businesses who may be held liable if they transmit messages that are defamatory, infringe on intellectual property rights, or violate other laws. Elected officials are also not immune from liability for messages they transmit in their official capacity, and the mention of European ISPs is irrelevant to the question.
