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.
It is country dependant.
In France the host is responsible if he/she has been warned about
the content and choose not to react. Otherwise, only the content
producer is responsible.
