    Where an information society service is provided that consists of the transmission in a communication network of information provided by a recipient of the service, or the provision of access to a communication network, the service provider shall not be liable for the information transmitted or accessed, on condition that the provider:

      does not select the receiver of the transmission; and
    • (c)
      does not select or modify the information contained in the transmission.
