I think it's unreasonable to expect any third party to accept |
| 7 |
responsibility for a receiver which is over-trusting a sender. |

Receivers must be intelligent and diligent to not be fooled by |
| 10 |
ignorant or outright malicious senders. |

Society chose to make radio senders responsible by law. It's why |
| 16 |
there are jingles. As with any free speech medium, that is not so |
| 17 |
easy to enforce on the internet. |

Just like you don't want to over-trust the guy on the corner dressed |
| 20 |
up as a person of authority trying to disseminate whatever racist |

More than anything, please consider that what you have been told may |
| 24 |
simply be a lie, and be prepared to rewind and re-evaluate the world |
| 25 |
if you learn that this is the case. You may look like a fool for |
| 26 |
believing someone who was telling a lie, but you'll look like a hero |
| 27 |
for admitting that it happened and that you've learned something new. |
