In Beckman v. Match.com, Case No: 2:13-CV-97 (U.S. District Court, D. Nevada, order entered May 29, 2013), a federal court in Nevada held that online dating site Match.com was immune from a user’s claim the site had negligently exposed her to a serial killer. Focusing on the claim as being essentially based on a profile created by another user, the court held the site was protected by CDA §230, which provides immunity to providers and users of interactive computer services for information provided by other users.
