Document Summary

Discovering the identity of those who make defamatory statements online always proves difficult. Isps can only disclose personal information about its customers when ordered by a court. Business bring lawsuits against john does and then obtain identity from isps. Communications decency act (cda) states that [n]o provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider. Isps are treated differently from publishers in print/other media and not liable for third party statements. Some courts have started establishing limits to isps immunity. Privacy: the right to privacy is guaranteed by the bill of rights and some state constitutions. Reasonable expectation of privacy: applies when entering banking information and privacy policies initiated by companies, but when sharing on social media. Data collection and cookies: whenever a consumer purchases items online from a retailer, the retailer collects information about the consumer.
