Lordmwesh,

I don'tthink its a question of putting weight on Intermediaries but making them aware of their roles and responsibilities with respect to informing educating and entertaining, freedom without responsibility is a recipe for chaos, better to arrest the situation before it gets out of hand, you realise how information has made the public more difficult to deal with by law enforcement agencies, the same freedom can be an Achilles heel to intermediaries one of the Intermediary representatives alluded to the fact that if we are not careful litigants with the money and know how can bring down the biggest of corporations through Law suits.

Best Regards

Thanks Ali and Kivuva for continuing discussion on this thread.

You both caution on the need to be careful in how intermediary liability is handled in terms legislation lest we restrict innovation. And yes Kivuva. Users are not exactly innocent since they are capable of making the right decisions on what to post.

Please feel free to continue debate on this same thread.
