Internet regulations


Recommended Posts

It's ridiculous, it's stifling UK based internet businesses as well as normal internet users. It makes me want to move to the USA. It wouldn't be possible to run Facebook, Twitter, Google or Youtube in this country due to all the regulations restricting free speech.

You don't want to move there, that's worse place you can be

 

Your best here, this is only country that is safe

By knowing what is right and wrong

 

You must know when your doing something wrong?.....whatever it is

 

Not necessarily. For example when a famous footballer (I dont even know if we can still name him) had an affair with Imogen Thomas. My right or wrong radar so to speak would have favoured disclosure as it was one sided towards the footballer.

 

Yet the law disagreed with me and if I'd posted about it I could have been sued.

To run an internet business the USA is a much better place than here in the UK, especially if it's one that relies on freedom of speech being protected.

Mod Note

Now hang on a bit - That raises an interesting point!

 

What if the mods miss something and as a result legal action is taken.

 

Who is responsible for the misdemeanor - the poster or the mods? :huh:

The poster is responsible in every case.

 

If we are notified of an issue and fail to act and a subsequent legal action is taken, then the board might be held responsible as well as the poster.

 

However there is a chance we may not have seen the notification as moderators are not here all the time.

 

So if we miss something, we might be held responsible, however the person who made the offending post is always responsible for it's content.

 

This is all in the site rules
