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. Rgds GG

Putting weight on the shoulders of intermediaries is not the way to go. We are admitting that the public is so innocent that it cannot make right decisions based on what they see, read, or hear. This type of censorship will make us be like China.
