Most xxx pictures of ex girlfriend -- out of the -- Kelly she tends says it godaddy can be held liable for the god that -- a heat synagogue part disagrees on -- heat death.
First -- you haven't courts already determined that.
That web hosts are not -- are responsible for what some idiot puts up.
-- Absolutely have a my first thought up by saying the moral of this story is very simple.
If you don't want naked pictures of yourself posted online or disseminated to the public.
Don't take the pictures -- But you're absolutely -- David you know I sympathize with these -- -- And perhaps the website did go a little bit too far and publishing their names and addresses will certainly let GoDaddy in this website at think did nothing really felt -- -- backed.
-- -- -- so Kelly what case to these ladies have how to they bring the case that the courts have already decided on this.
Well you -- -- a case by case analysis if you don't like the law those are your options you can file a lawsuit I try to change legislation and here.
The fact that they complained about the contents GoDaddy didn't pull it down they had a reasonable expectation of privacy -- those pictures.
And it's interesting to say if you don't wanna be out there naked don't take a picture remember Aaron -- -- -- excuse me ESPN reporter.
Someone took a picture of her -- people so these are all that's understood and understood belly and that is dozens were not excusing get a -- -- -- version put it up the question is whether GoDaddy.
Is liable do you still think GoDaddy should be liable for this.
Here's the issue they're now I -- -- -- chance to happening at every poster child porn if you oppose something.
That's offensive and illegal didn't have some accountability -- USA.
Hey you don't like it's darn your patent privacy is violated sorry these pictures are out there sorry your address is now located -- pretty I -- out there naked to save their -- when they're gaining money from the.
Well I he'd -- I -- -- and I have to give Kelly one point if if this was god forbid that this was child -- and appeared on their you know somebody some legislators somewhere would be looking for blood and they'd they'd might likely turn on godaddy.
They might have an easier case in that instance right.
In the key word that you used is yes David the courts have been clear and consistent.
Under the communications.
Decency act that web sites and web hosts are not liable for content posted by third parties.
First of the First Amendment issue clearly -- First Amendment freedom of speech would be stifled.
If we required you know these web sites to be liable and let's look at the practicality.
Of such a law.
Okay GoDaddy for example they -- fifteen million web sites.
It would be nearly impossible for them -- monitor.
All the million again Clinton willing to get the either way we I just hit a point of reference here decided does appear the site has been closed we -- has put in cars -- GoDaddy and so forth but.
This is the question is the community the greater community all of us to use the Internet -- -- -- more Kelly.
By closing down entire networks or by the -- put up on these networks which hurts the community us more.
I think what -- the community more is these despicable -- arts festival to go to your last segment.
-- children there are people that are being injured by -- and the fact that there is no monitoring you can't trust.
People so not so how -- -- Kelly let me put it -- point -- -- dare for you were saying it's better that we closed down godaddy didn't take the risk.
Of something bad being put up.
No absolutely not I do not think that we should close godaddy I'm very light and even I assume you didn't say that.
Might -- it's not gonna happen you said that sites.
Not they'll host provider I think about all the valuable -- it got a -- everybody that's being sued by these ladies that's the point was provided it -- OK Anthony I don't I can't track.
But the reality of the situation is not only added a deep pockets that are profiting from -- and how can you make money and then say hands off.
Salary or damage we -- money in the process but here I'm here around deadlock.
That's definitely -- -- -- -- we're gonna need that we started with -- -- well and -- -- thank you ladies good to see you being you grandma hello here.
