Question, if I host a blog, am I responsible for all comments on the blog? Does this mean that all comments must be held for moderation before they are posted?

This would kill hacker news and a large number of other sites, and is not solved by self-hosting.
- natrius 17y agoEveryone could host their own comments, and blogs would only accept links as comments on their posts. </sarcasm>
- Semiapies 17y agoJudging by cases in a few countries, bloggers would then be responsible for anything on the page at that link. If you reversed that, with commentors posting comments with links to the post, you'd then need aggregation to read comments, making aggregator sites and software makers vulnerable. It doesn't really stop until we devolve down to a pre-search engine web. But since "we" will be reshaping things, that'll be all good, right?
