Google Section 230 of the Commmunications Decency Act.
I'd be interested in reading some case law on this, because if I were the plaintiff's attorney here, I would harp on some important distinctions. I think this law was passed with the intent to protect ISPs, or general internet message boards like TD or reddit that exist to promote general discussion and don't have control over whether their posters go off the rails (aside from deleting the thread upon discovery). The difference here is they are promoting potentially libelous content to be posted on their forum/platform. They're fully aware (or should be) of the harm they could be inviting to innocent people's reputation. Maybe the court would still interpret that law to protect them, but I think plaintiffs here have a stronger case than say suing Comcast because they came across an offensive website

How is the university or the owner of the website liable?
Sue Jane Doe, subpoena the IP and go to the ISP to find the actual person who posted it, but there’s no cause of action against the university or the website owner.

If it's even 1% funded by or operated by the university, good luck with those law suits Udub.
I would really hope the school is not THAT dumb. I mean the site is literally about the school not doing anything if the girl said something to them. If they had/have anything to do with it, they would be admitting they don't take accusations serious.

This place is anonymous, so that's a really terrible example.

In other news UW student fornication hits an all time low of -6%

You have to realize your audience here. They will never understand this fact.

And while all of that may be true, you’re still most likely dealing with a judgement-proof entity. The Women’s Studies student operating the website has no money and good luck garnishing her barista wages to pay any possible judgment.
There’s probably some bad faith exceptions to 230 but I’m not sure I’m taking the case anyway

Sounds like people are going to get sued and dragged into court.

Male students should just all sign themselves and all their friends and acquaintances up.
If everyone is on the list, it’s useless right? Fight back.

This is literally nothing but a witch hunt at this point. Until there are actual punishments for false claims, this will get way way out of control

It's all pretty irrelevant considering the school doesn't seem to involved with the site in any way.

I love that you think that's relevant to a conversation about false allegations

You’re the one suggesting this place offers true anonymity. I think I’m dealing with a pigeon shitting on the chess board and thinking he won

That's not what I said at all, but OK.

And I think you aren't a good a lawyer as you think you are.
ETA: Seriously, where did child porn get brought up in this thread?
