Description of The Liability of Internet Intermediaries

Internet middlemen are essential to contemporary trade and society. Although their economic and social significance is widely acknowledged, little is known about their legal culpability, and, as of this writing, no work has expressly addressed their legal accountability for wrongdoing committed by third parties using their facilities or platforms. This study addresses that gap by offering thorough discussion of the legal obligations intermediaries have to uphold and the increasingly intricate systems that control their operations.

The idea of an online intermediary, broad principles of primary and secondary liability, and the European enforcement regime are all introduced in the first section of the text. The second part examines the responsibility of intermediaries in particular legal areas and includes a thorough analysis of the relevant liability laws, significant English case law, and Court of Justice rulings that interpret and apply them. The work's conclusion offers recommendations for cures and restrictions.
