You have to take in consideration that canadian law / USA law will be different from european / backees local law.
Most first world countries provide quite a good law system thats quite accessible.
I can assure you that copying any photograph and republishing it (like the websites) are in violation of the copyright law at the least. Judges generally rule with a fine of like $100 a day for every day the photo's are up.
You're advised to remove photos that are not taken in public, because most law-systems have a sub-article stating you can copy photos and republish them when they have potential news-worthiness.
"We were advised to omit screenshots of discussions"
I'm not sure, but this seems the most legit thing to post, other than photos and personal data.
"To prevail in a case for defamation, the plaintiff must prove that statements are false"
This is clearly the other way around.
You are correct:
"Action against a site creator would be weak, but could be time consuming to defend"
Because there are so many different laws that apply to this matter, in reality most likely nothing will happen with anything created.
But how would you feel if all of a sudden all kind of alex carr and rob tinnion sites would pop up?
Im quite suprised that there aren't already actually. Cause this is the only defense backees in case have.
