[ga] Message Boards and moderation.

[Joanna Lane <jo-uk@xxxxxxx>]

I have a vague recollection of discussions about who is responsible for the
content of message boards, but can't remember the outcome. Can the board
owner/domain name holder/ web host/ registrar be held legally responsible
for any libel posted on a site? Is there a legal obligation to moderate
postings, or does free speech cover everything, even if not hosted, owned in
the US?

As no doubt you can guess, I have a friend with a user situation.
Thanks,
Joanna
