Hi, I'm wanting to write a forum service on GAE where people can simply plug in a fully functioning forum on their site without setup headaches---
I'm aware of TOS: ------ Prohibited Content The Content displayed and/or processed through your Application or other web site utilizing the Service shall not contain any of the following types of content: Content that infringes a third party's rights (e.g., copyright) according to applicable law; Pornographic, obscene or excessively profane content; Hate-related or violent content; Content advocating racial or ethnic intolerance; Content intended to advocate or advance computer hacking or cracking Gambling; Other illegal activity, including without limitation illegal export of controlled substances or illegal software; Drug paraphernalia; Phishing; Malicious content; Pages comprised primarily of advertising; Other material, products or services that violate or encourage conduct that would violate any criminal laws, any other applicable laws, or any third-party rights. ----- Obviously I would never do any of the above-- nor want someone to use my forums on a site that does any of the above. However--- depending on how many people use this service--- the chance that some idiot some where will make a post, or sign up a forum will do something.... I'll have my own TOS that mirror's Google's requirements and any such activities would be an immediate ban on the part of the offender--- but what happens if someone does that and I don't catch it? Policing 100s of forums would be very difficult. I wouldn't want all my users to be shut down because of one stupid user. I think it's impractical to expect you to police thousands of clients (have a "report offensive" button would be done) and shut you down if one misbehaves. That wouldn't be very friendly for businesses trying to build on their cloud. What is Google's stance on this? I'd far rather use GAE than EC2. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
