I have this project, some news website that aboard actual news, but more like in a parody way. I’m developing my own CMS and I’m doing pretty well, but, before start developing the actual front end of the site I wanna know what kind of legal stuff do I need to publish my website. This would be my first public website.
Depends on country, if you’re a company or doing it for profit and if you do additional stuff like sending emails.
If you’re doing it for fun and are in the USA, you don’t need to do anything.
If you’re a company you should add the fine print. Add copyright notices, trademark claims, terms and conditions, disclaimers…
If you’re sending out newsletters you need to make sure people can unsubscribe.
If you’re in the EU you might need a whole imprint, privacy policy, handle user data properly…
