Intermediary safe-harbour protection depends on passive transmission, due diligence, and prompt removal of unlawful material.
Section 79 grants intermediaries conditional safe-harbour protection for third-party information, data and communication links where their role is limited, they do not control transmission or content, and they observe due diligence and prescribed guidelines. Protection is unavailable where an intermediary participates in an unlawful act or, after actual knowledge or government notification, fails to expeditiously remove or disable access to unlawful material while preserving evidence.
