College Gossip Site Subpoenaed

Juiceycampus.com is a website that provides an anonymous forum for university students to post gossip about each other. The posts are uncensored, and include comments about students’ looks, sexual histories, and other personal details.

The site claims total anonymity for its users, a claim that may be tested by the recent subpoena obtained by New Jersey prosecutors. New Jersey’s Attorney General has indicated that the site may be in violation of the Consumer Fraud Act by failing to monitor its content for offensive material and by failing to provide a means for users to report or dispute items posted on the site as false or offensive. Connecticut and California are also investigating whether the site may be engaging in illegal activities that violate consumer protection laws.
