You all seen this? Woman alleges man she met on internet dating service raped her, and she is suing the internet site for $10,000,000 dollars claiming they should have known. How about she should have known that some folks who utilize these sites are nut cases. She claims that match.com does not warn its users about the risks. Are you kidding me? Good lord, I wonder if folks are born dumb or they work at it. Even though this guy has convictions for assault etc... how would match.com know? I feel sorry for the woman but its not any internet sites fault. Its the guy who attacked her. No different than if you meet somebody at a bar (is the bar liable?) or on social media (is facebook liable?). Next week she will be suing Nigeria for having a minister of finance who defrauded her.
Additionally, I suspect it won't be too long before some type of legislation comes down the pipe attempting to further regulate/restrict the internet. You can't have the gov't waste another opportunity to meddle into your life. Between this and the Manti Te'o scandal, look for some idiot in congress to use these to get their name out there.
