A short OT question: A friend of mine wants to set up a forum or mailing list and would like to know to which extent the moderator or owner of the forum is liable, if some random troll or member puts libelous, insulting or racist remarks on the forum. I guess it depends mainly on national laws, but is there some general "I'm not responsible for anything"-clause in the terms & conditions that subscribers have to accept. If not, it would be very dangerous to set up a forum or mailing list. Thanks for any hints, links or tricks.
Completely up to national laws and their actual enforcement. And terms of service that go against local laws never have any juridical power.
