4385 REVIEW DENIED Language in the federal Communications Decency Act providing that no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher of information provided by another makes an employer who permits employees to use the company computer for access to the internet immune from liability resulting from threats posted by employees using the company computer; such postings, if done out of personal malice and not engendered by or in the scope of employment, do not make the employer vicariously liable under the doctrine of respondeat superior.
