Fair point, I didn’t think of it like that. You’re most likely correct in that regard. I’d still argue the blog itself is safe from legal ramifications because as mean as it is at times, there’s nothing illegal about talking shit about people on or off the internet. Gossip magazines and later gossip blogs have existed forever. If the blog isn’t allowing posts through that actually incite violence or action against a user, there’s nothing illegal about what they do.

You probably could try to get the blog banned if you really wanted (which is probably not easy as you think - I guarantee a least a few of those who have been posted about have probably tried to get Tumblr/whoever to remove the post or ban the blog, and as far as I know, all the FR drama blogs are still around. Only the original DR is gone, and they closed their own blog down - they weren't banned. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that FR themselves have tried to get at least the original DR taken down.) You’re just unlikely to get anyone arrested or charged with a crime over it. Like I said, if the owners were actually worried about getting in trouble over a post they allow, they probably wouldn’t be running the blog in the first place, so it’s safe to assume they’ve accepted any potential risks.
