No, you still need to do things like write an impact assessment etc and you're still on the hook for "illegal" comments where you aren't a judge and have to arbitrarily decide what might be when you have no legal expertise whatsoever.
That's a criminal offence in the UK (two year prison sentence in some circumstances). Do you have a good feeling for what might count as incitement in those circumstances?
No, they don't. My blog is not all that popular. It has got some programming puzzles, Linux HOW-TOs and stuff. Most of my audience is just my friends.
Of course that is the cynical version of it. But as others have pointed out some people dont like these sort of risk.
So what's the best course of action? Remove comments feature entirely? Maybe that's what I should do. I wonder what everyone else's doing.
