I doubt that this ruling is going to kill small internet communities. They generally have people of similar interests are more closely knit, so there is less spam or mindless conflicts. The big ones like Reddit, Facebook and Twitter, might be killed or at lease heavily impacted should this ruling go against them. > Curious how people would react to simply making a separate class for excessively large websites that are effectively public spaces due to scale and likelihood of frequent encounter. It should have been done long before.

Let's say you like kittens and are in a kitten forum. I'm an unscrupulous lawyer looking for a pay day. I go to your forum specifically to troll and say kittens should be eaten as snacks. You ban me. I file a lawsuit against you. It's not the members that you have to worry about, it's third parties with an ax to grind against the whole community or financial gains for doing so.
