Are blogs legally responsible for contents posted by it's users?

[King Belieal]

Recently, access to a blog owned by a friend was blocked by the government of my country. The reason was that one of the users of the blog posted a tribalistic and inciting contents.

But the site has a disclaimer that every opinion posted doesn't represent the position of the site. The government really battled the blog but diplomacy and contacts helped to resolve the issue.

As a site owner, are you legally responsible for the contents posted by the use of your site?

As a blog owner, you are only responsible for the contents you published in your blog. You are not responsible for the comments posted on your blog. But you must put a disclaimer that you are not to hold liable for comments posted on your site. You know, government can twist and find legal reasons to hold you down.
