It’s a huge liability which would make this terribly dumb.
That’s also why it would be crazy of them to officially allow “archive accounts”.
That’s pathway to lawsuits 101 if illegal content is present or even content that some user will ultimately argue that what they published publicly was private, see the Gmane case (was a mailing list archive) where the owner consistently got cease and desist letters or even formal notices from foreign governments about content that was in the archive.
Guess what will happen with a large company such as yahoo where there’s a financial incentive to sue too?
- ineedasername 7y agoDon't they have the exact same liability for the content while it was still live and active? What's different here?
