O/T California High Court: Yelp Can't Be Ordered To Take Down Posts
I don't usually get into this kind of legal mumbo jumbo but this precedent would have not been a good one for our forum had it gone the other way. I have often spoken of protections Net54baseball has in being held liable for what is said by our forum members other than me. Section 230 - Federal Communications and Decency Act defines the publisher of information as the person saying it, not the venue. So if a member says something they are liable for it and not the forum owner, unless the forum owner is involved in that particular communication and says something they are liable for. Fortunately as the internet, and our forum, has matured the Cease and Desist orders to me for what members on the forum say have ceased. When I first took over I was getting Cease and Desist orders monthly . I have to admit I had fun with them (all except the one I was liable for, it wasn't as fun). If anyone makes this into a politics thread it won't go well for you. Fair warning.
