Information society services: exception for hosting
6.—(1) Where an information society service provider provides so much of an information society service as consists in the storage of information provided by a recipient of the service, anything done by the provider in providing that part of the service is not capable of constituting the touting offence if—
(a)the information society service provider had no actual knowledge when the information was provided that its provision amounted to a contravention of the touting offence; or
(b)on obtaining actual knowledge that the provision of the information amounted to a contravention of the touting offence, the information society service provider expeditiously removed the information or disabled access to it.
(2) Paragraph (1) does not apply if the recipient of the service is acting under the authority or control of the information society service provider.
