The Santa Monica ordinance holds the companies responsible for booking rentals of residences that aren’t licensed by the city. The appellate panel agreed with the city that the restriction doesn’t violate the US Communications Decency Act of 1996, which shields online services from liability for the content that their users post on their sites.
