Someone hack my gmail and it’s using my name to create fake posts on your website.
Someone hack my gmail and posted some FAKE things about another person in my name.
THese posts are false and need to be removed ASAP
By keeping this posts on your website you ARE HELPING A HACKER AND AN EXTORTIONISThttp://www.companynamesucks.
You are protecting a hacker that hijack our email account and post on your website fake things.
Please remove this post or we will need to start legal actions against you.
The CDA is part of our federal laws. An excellent Wikipedia article discussing the history of the law can be found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
In short, the CDA provides that when a user writes and posts material on a website such as Company Name Sucks, the site itself cannot, in most cases, be held legally responsible for the posted material. Specifically, 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1) states, “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”
Because the reviews on Company Name Sucks are authored by users of the site, we cannot be legally regarded as the “publisher or speaker” of the reports contained here, and hence we are not liable for reports even if they contain false or inaccurate information.
So, why should you care about the CDA? Well, it’s simple — if someone posts false information about you on Company Name Sucks, the CDA prohibits you from holding us liable for the statements which others have written.
If you file a lawsuit which you know contains false claims, or if you sue without first conducting a reasonable investigation as to the law as it may pertain to the facts of your case (such as determining the identity of the author of the Review(s) you are concerned about), you and/or your attorney can be subject to serious sanctions at the judge’s discretion.
In addition to penalties a judge may issue, those who would threaten us need to be aware of another law which imposes civil liability on anyone who files a frivolous lawsuit. This claim is known as “wrongful use of civil proceedings” and it is defined by § 674 of the Restatement (Second) of Torts as follows:
(a) he acts without probable cause, and primarily for a purpose other than that of securing the proper adjudication of the claim in which the proceedings are based, and
(b) except when they are ex parte, the proceedings have terminated in favor of the person against whom they are brought.
Thanks

Maybe you should think about that before spinning a bullshit lie about your gmail being hacked.
