[Foundation-l] Fwd: [WL-News] Wikimedia Foundation in danger of losing immunity under the Communications Decency Act

> I don't see the issue here.  If you are approached as an administrator and asked to delete something and given information about why this is recommended it is clearly a request.  To be completely clear, I have been approached about such a thing in past (i.e. before Mike Godwin).  There was no doubt in my mind that I was expected to use my judgment as an administrator and uphold the trust of my community and not follow advice I believed to based on grounds the community would dismiss even if they could not all be given access to the necessary info.

But would you ever dismiss it if it was the foundation's lawyer
telling you there were legal concerns? We all know the law trumps
community policy.
