You're blaming lack of content moderation and not a law enforcement system that holds you responsible for something you had no control over when it actually failed to do its own job in this case?
- dkh 5y agoWe weren't held responsible, but it was still investigated and required our cooperation and was not the best use of our resources. Honestly, the public reputation part was far and away the more unfortunate consequence. Trust me, I have numerous concerns around the legal issues and the chain of responsibility, but what choice do you have? Are you going to start a fight with them out of principle and hope this works out in your favor? While still devoting the time and energy to the video platform you set out to build in the first place?

Investigating these issues is their job. They don’t show up assuming the site operator is the guilty party, but they do need their cooperation in collecting evidence so they can pursue the case. It’s analogous to a crime being committed on your property. They don’t show up to charge the property owner for a crime someone else committed, but they do need access to the property and cooperation for their investigation.
