Question:

When a statement appeared on its financial bulletin board claiming that individuals from a securities investment firm committed criminal and fraudulent acts during an initial public offering of a stock, Prodigy and the anonymous poster of the statement were sued for defamation. Prodigy had previously maintained that the content of its bulletin board was monitored and edited by Prodigy. Can Prodigy be held liable for the comments of the anonymous poster on its bulletin board? (Stratton Oakmont, Inc. v. Prodigy Services Co., 5 Alb L J Sci & Tech 229, 237 [1996])
