They don't move that quick. Took them a few years to come after me with an old "grey area" site of mine, and it was ranked in the Alexa 500 for quite some time, receiving 400-800k unique visitors per day.

It doesn't seem risky in the US, I'm not aware of any similar laws here. Fortunately, I don't live in the UK, so their laws don't apply to me, even if they say they do.

It works the same way as Citysearch or Yelp, in that aspect, anyone can review you. Members need to be aware of their local laws when writing potentially libelious or hateful statements - you open yourself up to lawsuits if you go on the si

You don't look at the camera even once during the whole video. It really bothers me and reminds me of when I'm talking to a blind person and they can't make eye contact with me because they can't see me.

No money to buy cigarettes? That must be deeply upsetting. I don't think it's right to have "no money to buy food" and "no money to buy cigarettes" in the same sentence.

I'm glad you mentioned the logo. Some other people mentioned it was nice, now I know they were just pulling my leg. What makes you think it is a nice site?

It's not centered around libel, at all. There's only a very small percentage of 1 star reviews, less than 2%, and most of them make their point without being rude or hateful. Anything that seems hateful, defamatory or gossip-like gets censo
