The Question and Answer Board

[NorthWesterner]

I wasn't planning to post here again, but here's a question you may know the answer to.

I know all about the CDA protections for boards. But, if Matt were to receive credible evidence that a poster is using IH for illegal purposes, and continues to allow that poster to post, would he be liable to those who lost money as a result of the illegal postings? And how about possible liability if he were to knowingly stifle information about the illegal activities?

Now, I don't know for a fact that anybody is using IH for illegal purposes, so this is a hypothetical question. But assume it were true, and Matt knew or had credible evidence that it was true, and allowed the poster to continue posting. Does actual knowledge that a board is being used for illegal activities and failure to take reasonable steps to protect the victims of that activity overcome the CDA protections?

Do you happen to know?

Now I'll go be quiet again.
