The thing is, it's a real issue that probably happens more often than we know. On a previous social site I was on, small and intimate like Hubski is, someone posted some really stupid shit. The guy who owned and operated the site ending up having a very long and uncomfortable visit with the secret service.

When you own and run sites like this, the risks and liability are very real, as are the potential legal consequences.
