Also one might wonder if the act of putting the disclaimer
into the message indicates an awareness of a problem or
a threat and so any subsequent losses due to such threats
might make it easier to prove liability of those ADDING
the disclaimer under some systems of law and torts.

Example:  "We are adding this disclaimer because we 
acknowledge we aren't taking sufficient measures...."

The same issue may exist with signs saying, "For the safety
of our customers: No guns allowed", in places such as Texas
where firearms are generally legal to law-abiding citizens.

When a criminal violates the sign, and the law, it will
serve as proof that the proprietor knew there was a danger
and took no effective action (metal detectors, armed guards, 
and  body searches) to disarm the ACTUAL criminals rather than
merely rendering the law-abiding defenseless.
