Operations Group Meeting Notes July 2, 2007

  • Jared presented us with information he learned when talking to lawyers about the hosted service
    • Privacy policy needed, can be held liable if breached
    • Terms of service (tos)
      • due to anonymous users, need tos links on all pages
      • agree to tos checkbox needed during signup
      • service can qualify for safe harbor (=not liable for user content) since we don't police users or their content
      • 3 provisions: dmca, copa, eu
      • copa: plan is to put notice to tos that the service is not intended to be used by people under 13
      • eu: the plan is to put a notice in tos explaining that using the service subjects users to US laws
        • the issue is with eu data retention laws etc which are more onerous than US laws
    • special procedures needed to prevent child porn distribution

  • Mitch's role: expect for him to be a little more visible, will be at next all hands

  • Off-site mtg after Preview? probably

  • Decided not to summarize general list at the moment

  • Katie to send email to general & users to get private feedback comments, will summarize publicly
