"Illegal Activities" is probably just a bit of a misnomer nowadays. The intend of the rule on Gamefaqs is very clear, but calling it "keeping us out of legal trouble in all the jurisdictions we reside in" is a bit long.

No, that is more or less the definition of: "we do not think it is wrong, but our lawyers say it might get us in trouble".

Gamefaqs operates under usa rules. Their moderations frequently violate or insult the rights and cultures of other people's and nations. It's just normal business for them. It would require gamefaqs being sued before they'd change, and that'll never happen.

Technically weed is still illegal in California, if the Feds want to bust you for it.

The UN doesn't have authority over anything. You've clearly never heard of sovereignty and the Westphalia order.

This.

The "illegal activities" clause has always been in there so that GameFAQs (and C|Net/CBS at a higher level of responsibility) can cover their ass and not get sued for promoting illegal activities. It's not a moral judgment as much as it is "Can we be prosecuted for this in any jurisdiction in which we operate?"

Plus, in the current era, with laws being passed that demand an even higher level of direct responsibility (see also, why Craigslist discontinued their "Personals" section), they're probably more paranoid about that sort of thing than ever, so I can see why they might be quick on the draw.

"Drug use and discussion"
Not sure how one can use drugs over the internet but discussion is certainly possible. However this doesn't distinguish between illegal, prescription, and 'over the counter' drugs. So I guess you can't discuss any of those either.

All the member sates ratified the SCND. In the past other nations tried to move weed to another category, but the US objected. Last time it was tried, it was by the US, but Russia blocked it.
