Legal Question in Technology Law in Florida

Internet Law Question

I don't know if anyone here practices internet law, or even if this question is relavent to internet law, but here it is anyway. A major internet company operates a public website where users can buy and sell items. If pornographic images were some how uploaded by a seller as a result of no filtering system or a malfunctioning filtering system, does the company become liable for those images? If so, can the company be sued for allowing such material to appear on their website, which has no restrictions to minors or children?
