I doubt TD will be effected by this.

It absolutely would be affected - this and every other forum with open posting would need clear cut rules and stricter moderation to prevent being held liable for anything a user could post.

I don't think posts calling Obama a terrorist or talking about Michelle's cock would cross the line, but there is a grey area for sure a little further down the line. Someone could post something legitimately illegal (CP always is used as the obvious example here) that only stays up for ten minutes, but the instant it was posted, the admins could be held liable.

A bad actor could take an entire site down by posting illegal images on purpose.
