legalities of a thai website

[nedflanders]

i've got a site i'm working on, not a forum exactly but there will be (hopefully) a lot of user interaction.

 

just a quick question to those of you running this site, or anyone who does something similar

 

 

how do you deal with people posting negative things about people or businesses? i know thailand has some pretty tough (some would say over the top) libel laws. and theres hundreds of photos of girls on here, most posted without their consent. do people threaten to sue? or even to break you legs??? !!!

 

does it all work out OK? of course the servers and company registration can be in another country. this sites been around for a long time so i guess so

 

 

anyone have any thoughts? ta

Nobody?

 

 

No one ever posts in this sub forum

These guys here are running the website out of the US and they are probably incorporated somewhere in the world for asset (advertising, donations, distribution income etc..) protection and liability purposes. Do you really think a person who may discovers here by accident a private and/or copyrighted image can afford to go after them ..... ? Ever tried to sue Tripadvisor or any of the larger other blackmailing platforms ? The biggest problem with large forums are keeping the potential spammers out and the contents clean. But you'll discover this sooner or later too.
