FR Wow. Y'all sent me to the profile because I didn't know where this talk of a lawsuit came from, now I do. All I can say is WOW. First of all if CM is in any way actionable for transporting scam attempts, then so is your ISP. If US law is that fucked up ( could be, should I ask my lawyer ? ) and the OP were to obtain his own hosting and put up a page of "CM scammers" they would probably be able to sue him for economic terrorism. That's right, in some cases telling the truth can get you in trouble. This little known abomination is used to silence whistleblowers in the food industry, like those who get pictures of baby chicks getting debeaked and piglets' teeth being cut down, shit like that. It is used rarely but it is on the books. So if he hurts the scammers' income, that is actionable. Know why ? Because in this country it is not illegal to lie. No shit. The media can lie, advertisers can lie, they can misrepresent products to a degree, which is a very intense subject for industry here; just how much can they legally lie about. They have teams of lawyers to make sure they are pushing the envelope but won't get their ass in a sling. Class action lawsuit, thanks for the laugh. T^T
