on july 22, 2016, the united states court of appeals for the sixth circuit affirmed the district court's decision. writing for the court, judge jeffrey s. sutton held that "[t]he district court got it right" in dismissing each aspect of o'kroley's claims. with respect to o'kroley's claim against google, the court held that section 230 of the communications decency act barred the claim. google's "automated editorial acts on the content, such as removing spaces and altering font", did not abrogate google's statutory immunity, nor did the fact that google "kept the search result up even after o'kroley complained about it."
