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.

I have always said both publicly and to Leon when we've had lunch (we're about due for one of those) -- that one of Net 54's greatest strength is that if you get involved in a controversial thread or start up one, you are named. In America, there is a concept about being able to face your accuser and as such Leon's position makes this a strong board

It's a great policy and an extremely well-run board.

I can certainly understand why a forum owner would be pleased with that ruling. But there are a lot of millennial d bags out there who write fake or exaggerated reviews to hurt the reputation of a business. Some of these people will even threaten a business with a negative review to get their way. Just look at that guy in the canceled transaction thread. People like him are why I personally believe in certain situations a business owner should have a way to get a review not based in fact removed.
