Just wondering, are owners of online forums like Prime legally responsible for what its members post?
Eg. I deal with a shop that rips me off, so I post online saying they stink, they ripped me off, don't deal with them.
Can the shop hold Prime responsible for libel/slander if I posted?
BTW this purely hypothetical, and not related to Prime at all. I run an online forum and was talking to a colleague over my activities and he seems to think I am exposing myself to possible legal action over what members post.
RSO34, I'm looking at you! :biggrin:
