This is the correct answer . I have a Facebook thing . I posted last about a year or two ago . my wife runs that side of the family business . <| sep |> honestly 200 isn ' t that big . he ' s 6 ' 1 I know he ' s pretty skinny but 190200 wouldn ' t be a big surprise <| sep |> Criminal . ? What is he doing that ' s illegal ? <| sep |> First of all , I am not a lawyer . From how I understand this whole situationUnder most law systems , when you host a forum you are not liable for the content your users post . But when there is proof you as a host can and have edited comments in secret something interesting happens . Now you as a host are liable , because you could have secretly edited comments to say something that was against the law . A user however would have solid grounds claiming that he never has written whatever was written under his name because the host has confessed to secretly editing content . For example , let me state the followingThe claim for the number of Jewish deaths in the holocaust is more symbolic than an exact number . In the country where I live denying the holocaust is illegal . If my username was linked to my identity I might go on trial for saying such a thing . Now that is it known admins can edit whatever I say on here , proving I have really said it becomes more difficult .
