Inc. for refusing to post his emails to their message boards, and IAC/Interactive Corp., the owners of Ask.com, to remove from their directory a website that made it appear in their search results that he was a member of the Communist Party. The court granted summary judgment for both defendants. The court found that Yahoo! was a private entity with no obligation to uphold First Amendment freedom of speech rights. The court found that IAC was protected by the Communications Decency Act of 1996, which immunizes “interactive computer services”, which includes search engines like Ask.com, from liability for information arising from third-party content.<br /> <br /><br /><a>Murawski v.
