No liability for how third parties using your network (e.g. for libel or violating copyrights). There may be other regulations that limit or eliminate this liability though.
- eck 13y agoSo, right now, if someone detonates a bomb with a cell phone, Verizon/AT&T is basically a co-conspirator? You'd think they'd want to be a common carrier, at least if it weren't for the US's general lack of enthusiasm for holding corporations responsible for anything.
- jasomill 13y agoUm, no. That common carriers aren't liable for something doesn't imply non-common carriers are liable. Moreover, IANAL, but I can't imagine common carriers are exempt from prosecution for criminal conspiracy.
