What is an owner of a website that has a forum, at risk for things that are posted? For instance, slander, or other similar things if a member posts things about a business or person in your forum that may not be true or easily proven.
I am interested in setting up a forum that people can discuss local business, laws, and news on. I want to make it clear that the opinions posted are not the opinions of the website, but I don’t want to be mislead in thinking that’s all I would have to do.
I assume that this is not the first time it’s came up and after no luck searching this forum I thought I would ask if anyone here had any experiences. Any views about this subject are greatly appreciated.
