Responsibility for a chat

[LucaMs]

If I create a chat room (of course with B4J + B4A, but this is irrelevant)...
who is responsible if two users are terrorists and they start to write about dangerous matters in a language I do not know?

I'm afraid... ME!

Please, tell me I'm wrong


Thank you

I'd say not you, otherwise phone companies would be liable for terrorists talking to each other on cellphones, and they're not.

Besides, we already have a chat room

I'm thinking to add a chat room to my online game, don't worry

I'm reading on the Web and I do not think that we can assimilate the phone communications to print publications or texts on the Web.

My example, moreover, is partial:
there is a difference between a conversation between two people (by phone or chat) and a public chat, in which a person might defame the President of Republic (as I would love to do )

Republic of where?
Looking forward to seeing your online game.

Republic of where?

Any fine

Thank you

maybe you should write terms and let user accept them before entering your chat and like this you should be clean of any charges

Yes, I do not think it can have legal validity anyway, but at least it can help.

Thank you, @ilan


[I know a person who has a chat for many years; I wonder why he has not posted a comment]
