“You think it’s not going to eventually happen here?”

The courts will have to overturn precedent. The one wildcard is that sites like FR that moderate their forums have been found to be accountable for content (since they actively control what’s published).

If this Canadian site was unmoderated, this ruling is garbage. It will absolutely have a stifling, chilling effect on Internet free speech.

Does anyone know if it was moderated?

No, it was not moderated. It would have been a full time job to moderate each and every single post.
