    I would like to remind everyone that ALL information on this site is private and confidential and never released to ANYONE else not even the U.S. Goverment since the machine this site runs on is an another country where U.S. law does not apply.

    Parts of the law I care about:  
     
    Section 230 Protections: What is this "Section 230" thing anyway?  
    Section 230 refers to Section 230 of Title 47 of the United States Code (47 USC ยง 230). It was passed as part of the much-maligned Communication Decency Act of 1996. Many aspects of the CDA were unconstitutional restrictions of freedom of speech (and, with EFF's help, struck down by the Supreme Court), but this section survived and has been a valuable defense for Internet intermediaries ever since.  
     
    Section 230 Protections: What protection does Section 230 provide?  
    Section 230 says that "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." This federal law preempts any state laws to the contrary: "[n]o cause of action may be brought and no liability may be imposed under any State or local law that is inconsistent with this section." The courts have repeatedly rejected attempts to limit the reach of Section 230 to "traditional" Internet service providers, instead treating many diverse entities as "interactive computer service providers."  
     
    Trademarks Protections: Can I use their name and logo?  
    While trademark law prevents you from using someone else's trademark to sell your competing products (you can't make and sell your own "Rolex" watches or name your blog "Newsweek"), it doesn't stop you from using the trademark to refer to the trademark owner or its products (offering repair services for Rolex watches or criticizing Newsweek's editorial decisions). That kind of use, known as "nominative fair use," is permitted if using the trademark is necessary to identify the products, services, or company you're talking about, and you don't use the mark to suggest the company endorses you. In general, this means you can use the company name in your review so people know which company or product you're complaining about. You can even use the trademark in a domain name (like walmartsucks.com), so long as it's clear that you're not claiming to be or speak for the company.  
     
    Best way to get a hold of me is to send me a Private Message on the site, I will respond within 24 hours.
