Important: US congress attempting to pass bill which would hold website owners liable for what members post

In an attempt congress is changing section 230 of Communications act of 1934, the Communicatons Decency Act of 1996. This will punish site owners for what their users post by fine or potential jail time of 20 years.

The bill intends to go after child trafficking but is an attack on all sites and forums.

Link to the bill

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1865

This enables one troll or spammer with intent to effectively kill any website they don’t like for any petty reason. Smaller sites don’t have the resources or manpower to maintain surveillance over their websites. This will kill smaller content creators internet wide and lose tons of great smaller communities.

Spread this around and call your congressman to vote NO on the “Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017” (FOSTA)

The Electronic Frontier Foundation Goes into even more detail on how that hurts smaller websites from sustaining themselves and even hurts the victims of Sex Trafficking as well

FOSTA Would Be a Disaster for Online Communities

Frankenstein Bill Combines the Worst of SESTA and FOSTA. Tell Your Representative to Reject New Version of H.R. 1865. The House of Representatives is about to vote on a bill that would force online platforms to censor their users. The Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (...

Great post @TG I am on board with this and fully give my support to the safety of this Website, please everyone be aware and always think before acting out and posting, even if something is unfair and may have gone wrong there is other ways for solution than posting unnecessary information that may lead to mishaps. Be safe everybody

Exactly. I have ideas if the law does go into effect we’d have to develop a new way to operate that makes it easier on us here.

For the most part our structure of last post coming to top of page helps more then other forums have to worry about. But still moderating content isn’t always easy to keep up with considering we all have full time jobs and families. I don’t live in US either which makes jurisdiction a bit harder but we all know the US loves to over extend its jurisdiction.
 
US Congress just passed HR 1865, “FOSTA”, seeking to subject websites to criminal and civil liability when third parties (users) misuse online personals unlawfully.

Just to let y’all know brothers stay safe.
