I look forward to reading it. I think the Roommates court's reasoning was a step in the right direction, but I'm not sure other circuits will sign on and I don't think its reasoning could be used to deny a site like Juicy Campus section 230 immunity because I don't believe Juicy Campus "contributes materially to the alleged illegality of the conduct" such that it becomes a co-developer or co-creator of the objectionable content that students posted. I do think that several suits against MySpace pending in various state and federal appellate courts could herald some additional limits on 230's immunity carve-out, though, but we will have to wait and see.

I agree. (I have an article coming out soon in the BU Law Review entitled Cyber Civil Rights in which I explore that suggestion and others to ensure that website operators exercise reasonable care given the aspirations of CDA, which, as you wisely note, was self-policing; I would love your comments on the piece.
