| Employer Not Liable For Employee’s Use of Computer System |
|
Companies are not liable for threatening messages that employees send through their computer networks, according to one California court of appeal. In a case of first impression, the Sixth District Court of Appeal ruled that the federal Communications Decency Act of 1996 affords an employer immunity from liability based upon an employee’s use of its internal computer system to communicate threatening messages.
