Justices give narrow win to Internet site in false data case

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court says an Internet search site that posted false information about people can be sued only if the errors caused actual harm.

The justices threw out an appeals court ruling in favor of Thomas Robins, a Virginia resident who sued Spokeo after it posted an online profile about him that was riddled with errors about his age, education, employment and marital status.

[...] Robins was single, unemployed and looking for work.
