Liability for Blog and Website Owners
Initially, a blog or website owner could be liable for the
defamatory statements made by others on the owner’s blog or website, because
the owner was publishing the defamatory statements. In response, Congress
enacted the Communications Decency Act of 1996, 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)
("Section 230"). Under Section 230, unless there is an affirmative
showing by a plaintiff that an owner of a blog or website is the author of a
defamatory message or post, the provider should almost always avoid liability
for defamation. However, if the owner actually monitors the messages or posts
on his or her blog or website, they may lose the protections afforded by
Section 230.
Jurisdiction for
Internet Defamation Cases
Jurisdiction is the authority of the
court to hear and decide upon a particular matter. Jurisdiction for an internet
defamation claim is typically appropriate
wherever the effect of the defamation is felt. In recent U.S. decisions,
"targeting" of the forum is also required in order for jurisdiction
to be appropriate in a certain court. In other words, did the defendant show an
intent to aim their online content toward a certain audience, i.e. one in a
certain state? If so, then a defamation case could likely be heard there.
Statute of Limitations. The statute of limitations bars a plaintiff from bringing a
lawsuit after a certain period of time. In California, for example, the statute
of limitations is one year after the defamatory statement was first published.
AND DISCRIMINATION!What's Next for Nextdoor After $110 Million Investment?
Co-founder Sarah Leary talks about what's coming for her rapidly growing social media platform that's valued at more than $1 billion.

Nextdoor Co-Founder Sarah Leary.
What’s the value of a little neighborly conversation? Investors
believe it’s worth more than a billion dollars, especially if it’s
generated by Nextdoor,
a neighborhood social media platform that this month announced a fourth
round of funding of $110 million and a valuation of $1.1 billion.
The fresh infusion of funds more than doubles Nextdoor’s investments since its launch and has been provided — in large part — by venture capital firms Redpoint Ventures and Insight Venture Partners. Nextdoor’s previous investors delivered about 35 percent of the new funding.
“That’s just a huge vote of confidence for what we’re doing and something that we’re particularly proud of,” said Nextdoor Co-founder Sarah Leary.
She highlighted the company’s propensity for growth as the main reason for the investment. The platform’s social network musters 5 million exchanged messages per day from more than 53,000 neighborhoods nationwide. Nextdoor is also used by nearly 700 jurisdictions for citizen communication through its government dashboard, Nextdoor for Public Agencies.
Leary said new funds are already invested in efforts to expand services. Central among these is its ability to accommodate new government agencies outside its public-sector user base to date, the majority of which are law enforcement and emergency responders. Other government partnerships have included sanitation, animal control and even citywide partnerships with municipalities like Philadelphia, which has embraced the platform in a number of departments. In the nation’s most populous cities, 85 percent of all neighborhoods use Nextdoor, according to the company.
“When you get to the point of 35 percent of the neighborhoods in the United States using your platform, you start to hit a penetration level where public agencies are banging on our door and asking ‘How do we get to be a part of this network?’ and ‘How can we use this platform to better communicate with residents?’” Leary said.
Nextdoor Polls is the latest feature coming to Nextdoor’s government platform. At present, polls are only available to residents who can publish questions on civic and neighborhood issues, collecting feedback anonymously. A feature to share poll results is on the way, but Leary said it will be up to neighborhoods and neighbors as to whether they share such information with cities.
“Polls was one of these features that residents had been asking for for the last year or two,” Leary said. “And now you have a platform where with a click of a button, you can ask a question of neighbors to get responses, and that’s incredibly powerful.”
Notwithstanding features and progress, investors are equally eager about the network’s promise to start monetizing the platform. Since 2010, when Nextdoor was first organized, the company has held off, focusing instead on community building. However, now with a vast user base, Leary and fellow co-founders have decided the wait is finally over. The process will begin this year, but Leary said the shift will not translate to costs for Nextdoor’s users or public agencies.
Monetization is likely to mean revenue through connecting residents with local businesses and service providers. According to Nextdoor, fee-based businesses and service providers might find better ways to entice local customers through its recommendations. For example, with on-demand services — like babysitting, dog walking and other grass-roots labor — Nextdoor could potentially monetize through commissions on transactions.
It was confirmed that 80 percent of endorsements on Nextdoor are about local products and services. Pairing these with sponsored recommendations could spell strong revenues as it’s done for social media giants like Twitter, Facebook, Yelp and others.
“It’s an exciting time for us,” Leary said.

Nextdoor already is a popular resource for local law enforcement and emergency services. What is the next area of government where Nextdoor will make an impact?
