I believe there is a provision that pertains to it is being actively moderated or not.

That was the court case with that woman's site who had other women dogging some lawyer guy. Her board, or site, was not moderated. She let people do, and say what they wanted.

But I would have to double check. In the case of search engines, and their loophole. You have to file, or do something for DMCA protection.
