You do see the IRON in your post right? He was spammy some dudes profile with videos of him sucking another dudes dick... 6 times he did that. Now that guys mom and dad have to deal with it. What I posted was just a small taste of what that other guy feels.
True.
However, I have a suspicion that quite a few guys on here own a few sites like that and the mugshot/cheater/name & shame sites.
If he did own yougotposted.com, then I think he's safe under the unmoderated submissions defense...
That's what I mean - if he wants to claim it's his.... let's hold him to it. Whether or not it's true is his problem, not ours.
Hold on ... maybe that's exactly what he wants everyone to think. A 3.9 means he's a step, maybe two, ahead of the pack. Focus!
How does this ruin their lives more? Us seeing it makes no difference, it's the fact the site ranks for people's names and stuff that causes the problem.
The site will go down, too.
I was thinking about this a bit more from the legal aspect. So far all the talk is whether he's liable for content of user submissions with regard to harressment, bullying and sexual assault.
Isn't the OP always at a massive risk of being guilty of distributing child pornography. I mean, most the Facebook profile pictures linked from the posts are of people whose highschool graduation years would put them at 18 or 19. Given that this is an ex/boyfriend revenge site, chance are that a good deal of the photos are older, and with the overall number of submissions there would be a very real chance of someone being 16 or 17 at the time some of the photos were taken.
And if that's the case, wouldn't all it take to prove it be to contact the young men and women (very easy when he's linked to their Facebook pages), ask them to look up the metadata on the original versions of the photos, which being that most were taken with cell phones will almost certainly include the date. Match any photo to the date taken being before the girl/boy's 18th birthday, and you've got your proof. Seems like a very simple task for a prosecutor or motivated good samaritan
I'm far from a legal expert, so maybe I'm wrong on this. Anyone with a better understanding of the law have an opinion on this?

It would come down to the court to decide if the steps he took to prevent child pornography appearing on the site were good enough or not.
The only issue is, he's unlikely to find a judge or jury that would support someone doing what he is doing, they'd likely be out to get him much like the people in this thread are.
Yep, that's the problem IsAnyoneUp had. Still, a bit harsh dropping child porn manufacturing (If anyone from the UK is under 18, then even copying something on your own HDD is classed as that) charges on someone for essentially running a scraper site and taunting some celebrities, even by WF's standards.
