You're reading it too literally here - the CDA applies to:
>(2) Interactive computer service The term “interactive computer service” means any information service, system, or access software provider that provides or enables computer access by multiple users to a computer server, including specifically a service or system that provides access to the Internet and such systems operated or services offered by libraries or educational institutions.
- tboyd47 2y agoWhat definition of "hosting" do you think the courts would apply instead of the technical one?
- jen20 2y agoI’d imagine one that reasonable people would understand to be the meaning. If a “web hosting” company told me they only stored things on a server with no way to serve it to users, I’d laugh them out the room.
- tboyd47 2y agoGood point
- itsdrewmiller 2y ago"hosting" isn't actually used in the text of the relevant law - it's only shorthand in the decision. If they want to know what the CDA exempts they would read the CDA along with caselaw specifically interpreting it.
