2. Section 230 Safe Harbor

ExposingHate.org is a provider of an interactive computer service as defined by 47 U.S.C. § 230 (the Communications Decency Act).

We are not the publisher or speaker of any user-submitted content. User submissions, including descriptions, context, and commentary, are created entirely by third-party users. ExposingHate.org does not adopt, endorse, or become the publisher of user-generated content by virtue of displaying it.

Users who submit content are solely responsible for the legality, accuracy, and consequences of their submissions.

3. Good Samaritan Moderation

Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(2), ExposingHate.org reserves the right, but not the obligation, to:

• Remove, edit, or refuse to display any user-submitted content
• Restrict access to any content we consider obscene, harassing, excessively violent, or otherwise objectionable
• Remove content that violates our policies or applicable law, including Texas law regarding doxing and harassment
• Suspend or terminate user accounts for policy violations

Our moderation activities do not make us the publisher of content we choose to leave posted. The exercise of editorial discretion does not create liability for third-party content.
