Live Journal issues
Posted: Thu May 31, 2007 2:06 pm
Live Journal, under pressure from advertisers by way of Warriors for Innocence (run by individuals with strong ties to a rather militant dominionist group) was attempting to remove pedophiles but also deleted many more journals and communities that were fandom related. They also deleted rape and incest survivor's journals, a discussion group for the novel Lolita and journals with the interests "gothic lolita" and "elegant gothic lolita" which is a style of dress popular in J-rock.
2 days later they are starting to finally attempt to make things right with the improperly deleted journals but seem to have also un-deleted ones that should have stayed deleted.
This is a major mishandling that all of LJ should know about, not just SPN, Heroes and HP fandoms and such. Many are leaving LJ or simply no longer paying for the accounts.
The more you know.
