Hot news! The Ninth Circuit en banc panel in the Roommates.com case upheld the 3 judge panel and issued an opinion, not surprisingly written by Judge Kozinski, saying that Roommates.com doesn’t qualify for immunity under 47 USC 230. The en banc panel voted 8-3 with a lengthy dissent by Judge McKeown. I’ll post an analysis as soon as I can work through it.
