To what extent is the hosting provider liable for the activities of the users of the provided\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thecamels.org\/en\/hosting-xxl\/\"><span>hosting<\/span><\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"an-unaware-hosting-user-is-an-innocent-hosting-user\"><\/span><strong>An unaware hosting user is an innocent hosting user<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The hosting users might violate the law by publicly insulting individuals and institutions, using the infrastructure provided to defraud or violate copyright laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>How is the hosting provider liable for this? Usually, they are not<\/strong>. <\/strong>Unless they are aware of the practice and fails to notify the appropriate authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Polish and EU laws severely limit the hosting provider\u2019s liability for the unlawful actions of their customers. According to Article\u00a014 of the Act on Provision of Electronic Services (Journal of Laws of 2020, item 344),\u00a0<strong>the hosting provider shall not be liable for the stored data regarding the person whose rights have been (or may have been) violated if the hosting provider has no knowledge of the unlawful nature of the data or related activities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore,\u00a0<strong>as long as the hosting provider doesn\u2019t know about given actions, they cannot be liable for the things that take place on the provided services.<\/strong> However, if the hosting provider becomes aware of such actions but won\u2019t do anything about them, the situation becomes much worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can a hosting provider find out about illegal activity? In two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>by receiving an official notice that an offence may have been committed (from the court or the police);<\/li><li>by receiving credible and reasonable information of the unlawful activity.\u00a0<strong>It\u2019s important to highlight that the notice must indicate the nature of the infringement, the injured party and the party involved along with a REASONABLE GROUNDING for the nature of the infringement. Note that even if a hosting provider blocks their services based on reliable information, any claim by the customer on this account remains unfounded.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-should-the-hosting-provider-react-immediately\"><\/span><strong><strong>How should the hosting provider react? Immediately!<\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon receipt of the official notice or credible information about illegal activities of the hosting user, the hosting provider should promptly delete the published illegal content or block the activity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth noting that the regulations do not require the hosting provider to constantly monitor activities and control the content provided by the users. Therefore,\u00a0<strong>the hosting provider does not have to do anything in particular unless they know about the violation<\/strong>.

This means that <strong>the hosting provider cannot render liable to prosecution if the services provided by the hosting provider have been used illegally<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this to happen, the hosting provider would have to commit the offence deliberately. Therefore,\u00a0<strong>in order to hold the hosting provider accountable, one would have to prove they acted with actual malice<\/strong>. In practice, evidence of such deliberate actions could include ignoring requests to remove materials or assisting a client in illegal activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-police-require-the-hosting-provider-to-disclose-their-customers-information\"><\/span><strong>Can police require the hosting provider to disclose their customer\u2019s information?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the hosting provider should, upon request of the police, provide the data of the hosting user and cooperate with the authority.

Keep in mind that\u00a0this obligation does not lie with the hosting providers, but directly with the providers of online content sharing\u00a0\u2013 <\/strong>social networks or file sharing platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EU member states are introducing specific legislation to comply with the new EU Directive.
