Yeh, and there is not a thing we can do about it, because under our
editing policies our article on Foz News will be very unpleasant reading
for them.
I do think we need to sort out some of these issues:
One: are any of them actually illegal?
Two: Do we need legal documentation with respect to pictures of people?
Three: Is there legal material we should not host?
Four: Should we offer a sanitized version for children? Or anyone else?
