I don't know Florida Law - but if my knowledge of UK law would say that if harm is a reasonably foreseeable consequence of an action, and it is reasonable to take steps to prevent it, then a failure to do so is culpable negligence. We know the harm, we could do something, but we don't.
UK and US law split over 200 years ago. There are significant differences. Read through Barrett v. Rosenthal.
And how would that decision help us, Geni? ~~~~
The foundation appears to me to be pretty safe. There are a number of court rulings that I believe support that position. Additional the foundation is in a better position than us to judge it's legal situation and until it says otherwise I believe we should assume that they are fine. However one long term worry that isn't often considered is the situation of editors who edit articles with problem claims and don't spot and remove them.
Barrett v. Rosenthal is the case that I know of that appears to come closest to addressing their situation under US law and thus should be of interest.
