The Poal.co warrant canary

As of Thursday, December 9, 2021, Poal.co has never received:

  • National Security Letters, of any type, for any purpose

  • Personal requests from any law enforcement agency worldwide or corporate entity for backdoors in any software and/or hardware projects to which we currently are or have been active contributors, nor are we aware of other contributors to these projects having received such a request

  • Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court orders of any type

  • Subpoenas and/or search warrants accompanied by a gag order pursuant to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act

The Poal.co Free Speech Canary

  • Poal.co declares itself to be a Neutral Public Forum and claims protection under Section 230 immunity

  • Poal.co declares it is open to the general public for use

  • Poal.co commits to not removing content unless it is illegal or any form of child sexualization

  • Poal.co commits to not banning users unless they post illegal content or if they compromise the site functionality (Spam, DDoS, etc.)

  • Poal.co delegates moderation of speech on the site to the users themselves via the Owners and Moderators of individual subs (aka user subs)

  • The Owners and Moderators of individual subs may restrict speech but only at the risk of that individual sub losing Neutral Public Forum status and the Owners and Moderators of that individual sub losing Section 230 immunity. Poal.co itself maintains Neutral Public Forum status and maintains Section 230 immunity because anyone can create a new sub and talk about anything they want

  • If a sub owner is determined to be an abusive mod, that sub maybe transfer to another user (abusive mod is defined by actively censoring relevant discussions or information)

  • Poal has not received any money from any governments foreign or domestic.

This statement will continue to be updated manually.

The following is why all these type places have subs and moderators that are users and aren't employees.

The moderators of the subs have no idea they have all the legal risk. Since it's under their control they are the responsible party for stuff that gets posted there by other people. At least that is the legal argument websites use to try to defend themselves.

"Poal.co delegates moderation of speech on the site to the users themselves via the Owners and Moderators of individual subs (aka user subs)

The Owners and Moderators of individual subs may restrict speech but only at the risk of that individual sub losing Neutral Public Forum status and the Owners and Moderators of that individual sub losing Section 230 immunity.

Poal.co commits to not removing content

out of interest, I notice that the https://poal.co/s/ActivismGroup/ has been disabled?

I'm guessing poal doesn't want certain types of stuff on its board and this was a proactive clearout?

You're guessing wrong.

That sub has been disabled 6 days ago by its owner.

yep, I've seen nothing overt like that on here, it's usually counterproductive

Thanks for the link 0K, I hadn't realised there were two similar subs

Idk what happened over there, but if @AOU disabled it, it's for a reason

Either the owner asked for it, or something fishy was taking place

So the mods have been fondled by someone here?

What about requests for backdoors in any software or hardware that aren't "personal" or from a law enforcement agency?
