It would be interesting to know the name of the person or legal entity initiating the ongoing legal situation against JISC
There are hundreds of law students around the world who would love to start suing them for infringing our rights to free speech. Or is the responsible for the ongoing legal situation protected by some secrecy laws?

Members of SIMSOC list We have recently removed several messages from this list due to an ongoing legal situation, involving a person and conference mentioned in messages posted to the list. Messages we have removed from this (and several other lists) have contained the name of a specific conference, the name of its organiser and the phrase "fake conferences". Because these lists have publicly accessible archives then anyone using the internet can read these discussions. In some cases, the content of follow-up messages in the thread may have been acceptable, however the original message was forwarded in the reply or the subject line repeated. Unfortunately we cannot edit parts of messages posted to our lists, we can only remove the entire message, and have had to remove these from the SIMSOC archives. We have also had reports of individuals being contacted directly with messages about these conferences. Since these do not pass through our lists, we are unable to prevent them. We are not taking a stance on the validity of claims about the conferences or people involved, but based upon the ongoing legal under way and the disruption these posts cause to the normal discussions on our lists, we advise that any messages which refer to the conference or the organiser (in support of, or against) will be removed from JiscMail lists. List owners of JiscMail lists which are being used for these messages have been notified and advised of our position. We understand that this situation may be frustrating to subscribers, however we are attempting to minimise disruption to the healthy discussions that happen on Jiscmail and reduce the impact on our users. Many Thanks, Lisa
