Sounds scary given that one basically enters a 'lock-in' with appengine and cannot simply switch to another provider as one could using just plain php+mysql.
I run a forum and a gambling site on different providers and they never mingled if users posted 'cheeky' or copyrighted pictures, insulted each other or responded to complaints as some people are just offended by gambling. I really would like to get a full detailed list of Google appengine policy in case of events mentioned above. I mean on Youtube people publish content all the time that is offensive, copyrighted, etc. Obviously above a certain number of users it is completely unrealistic to monitor every user activity. Obviously content would be removed after sensible complaints. Any official statement? On Sep 5, 10:51 pm, "Brandon N. Wirtz" <[email protected]> wrote: > Not a Google employee, but...
