User agrees not to:

1.2.1 post or transmit any message on or through EA’s Website that is libelous, defamatory or which discloses personal or private matters concerning any person without their express consent. User may not post or transmit any message, data, image or program that is obscene, indecent, pornographic or profane or any other material that could give rise to any civil or criminal liability.
