So if I want to run a website with comments I need a lawyer to review each comment? Like how am I, a layman, supposed to determine whether a comment violates copyright or is actually fair use? Or whether it's a "true threat" as opposed to bluster ("Next person who comments about X is getting slapped")? What happens if I wrongly remove a comment?
- leereeves 6y agoHow that's different from any other business? Businesses have to remove disruptive customers, fire employees, etc; there are rules about that; and somehow they manage. Probably there would be exceptions for personal non-commercial sites and even small businesses. There's plenty of room for compromise between the status quo and draconian rules that shut down every website.
