Does this mean things can go hog-wild now? All the crazies just escaped from the asylum.
Nope, ...it means that if someone reprints an article previously published by Reuters, Ron cannot be held liable as the originator of the content. You are still responsible for your own posts tho, ...and Ron is still responsibility to the extent that he participates in, facilitates, and/or enables the abuse or defamation.
ie: If Associated Press or Reuters says you are a poopy pants, Ron is OK. If I
say you're a poopy pants, and you object, and I am unable to produce the messy fruit of the looms to back up what I say, then I'm in trouble, ...and possibly Ron if he permitted the liable to remain unchecked.
