Claiming you didn't know it could cause harm isn't a defense in court in Canada.

Anymore bullshit?

I don't know about the states, but here in Canada the government takes the position "ignorance of the law is not a defence".

There's the argument that you distrubuted it.

Not if it incites violence, causes harm or any of the other carve outs in the first amendment of the USA.

I am aware that the post is supposed to be funny, and you are most likely making a joke, but this is the internet and these sort of disclaimers tend to be necessary.

Except if they were halfway intelligent they wouldn't have it go automatically to the site.

And when you do this and something goes really wrong criminal charges get laid.
