but at the end of the day none of that actually matters when a corporation is obligated to legally cover its own ass to avoid being held responsible for the illegal activities of its users.


That's why section 230 exists, but again, I have done nothing illegal. I am not a citizen of the United States and am not subject to its laws, ergo I was punished for committing a lawful act.

gamefaqs has a terms of service

ParanoidObsessive posted...
Terms which you legally agreed to upon creation of an account on this site, where the terms of service are clearly established.

Terms they are in violation of

Gamefaqs posted...
Violate any persons or entitys legal rights (including, without limitation, intellectual property, privacy, and publicity rights), transmit material that violates or circumvents such rights, or remove or alter intellectual property or other legal notices;

Not that it matters.

Gamefaqs posted...
THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT,

Null and void under Canadian and other Commonwealth nation legal systems, making the rest of the ToU unenforceable; the only option for redventure to legally enforce the ToU is to revoke access to every Non American on the site and geoblock anyone not in the continental United States.

They have another big problem in their ToU:

Gamefaqs posted...
You shall not transmit, submit or post the following to our Services: Information that violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation;

Any law, statue, ordinance or regulation. This is overly broad. You cannot be expected to adhere to the laws of 200+ countries. Right now by participating in this site we are all in violation of multiple laws in China and Hong Kong and therefore in violation of the ToU

And how many of you are using adblocker? Turns out your in violation of ToU

Gamefaqs posted...
Remove, modify, disable, block or otherwise impair any advertising in connection with the Services;

If you disagree with the policies there's nothing stopping you from leaving.

And I am considering it, especially after reading the updated terms of service of October 30, 2020. Who here has actually read it?

https://www.redventures.com/legal/cmg-terms-of-use

I have been using this site since 1996, and agreed to the original ToU, and it can be argued I agreed to the updated terms of use in effect for October 2014 when I created this account, however the recent acquisition by Red Venture was not well publicized or known, and they failed to preform their due diligence to adequately inform users of these changes, that has resulted in the tortious interference in my peaceful enjoyment of this site.

If anyone is banned they can take their sorry excuse for ToU to court, and win. (unless they are American, then it depends on what state you are in)

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


I know I am not the first, more then likely won't be the last.

The original intent of the TC was to showcase the absurdity of the moderation, especially considering some of the things that get posted to this site, even this very post started as a tounge in cheek lark, but after reading the new ToU, I am genuinely considering closing my accounts, deleting the bookmark and removing it from my browser history entirely.
