News Update: The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a ruling by a federal appeals court that online service providers cannot be held responsible for information a subscriber transmits to others on their service. The ruling on June 22, 1998 came in the case of Kenneth Zeran, who sued AOL because someone had posted messages saying Zeran was selling T-shirts with offensive slogans about the Oklahoma City bombing.
