UF Slams Juicy Campus

UF Slams Juicy Campus

Oh, Juicy Campus. The self-purported “home of the juiciest college gossip” is filled with everything from stripper teachers to debates about who's the bigger slut.
 

Fortunately, the salacious site is protected by a federal law that prevents Web sites from being held liable for content posted by others. Isn’t free speech just grand?
 

Some students and faculty at the University of Florida don’t think so, and they’re looking to take action against the rumor propagator.

 

 

This summer, the Independent Alligator reported that:
 

After about a dozen students came to him and complained about the site, Student Body President Kevin Reilly sent a letter in June to Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, urging him to investigate the popular gossip site that allows people to post anonymously. The letter, also signed by Marc Hoit, UF’s former chief information officer, states that the site plays host to cyberbullying and raises concerns about public welfare and safety.

“It is not uncommon for posts on Juicy Campus to mention students by name and discuss their sexual histories, their sexual orientation and even speculate as to their HIV status,” the letter stated.

 

 

That sort of information doesn’t belong on the Internet...It belongs in locker rooms and sorority kitchens.
 

So instead of Juicy Campus, read CollegeOTR! (Sorry, I had to do it.)
