How does this effect Verizon's position as a neutral carrier? I was under the impression you couldn't take a position like this without giving up safe harbor. If my interpretation was correct that means any forum that moderates can't claim safe harbor for illegal/libelous content. But that can't be right since so many do moderate.

Sometimes you think you know what's legal and sometimes you have no clue...color me clueless at the moment.
