femmequixotic: TOSed. Yeah. - pornish_pixies was TOSed because it was reported to LJ Abuse[...]//'In particular, the interest that you had listed on your profile that qualify as expressing interest in, soliciting, or encouraging illegal activity was "incest". -- liz_marcs: About that LJ Rumor... - some group calling itself "Warriors for Innocence," which has decided to turn its sights on LJ. The goal is to pressure LJ/SixApart to shut down LJs of people these bloggers have determined to be "pedophiles" or potential pedophiles. -
- melyanna: FanLib poll - Can FanLib still survive? -
- liviapenn: PSA: Check your interests; we are being targeted - Apparently a hardcore vigilante anti-child-porn group is targeting livejournal users, from Lolita book discussion groups, to fannish porn communities, to people's fictional livejournals for their RPG characters -
- liz_marcs: Another Exchange of Emails - This is continued from the post About that LJ Rumor...As I said, I did receive an answer to my email...First, the Warriors for Innocence response, followed by mine. -
- bookshop: [In fandom_lawyers] the deletion of fandom communities and the incoming Deletecalypse - Straight up, people. What are our options as a fandom to fight this? What are all our options to fight this, and how can we as a fandom collectively work to deal with Six Apart in this issue? -
- ataniell93: SO MUCH WTF--suspended journal support request - the interests that you had listed on your two journals' profiles that qualify as expressing interest in, soliciting, or encouraging illegal activity were: child abuse, human sacrifice, kidnapping, killing, murder, paedophiles, paedophilia, rape, and beati -
- melannen: Well, at least we can say they came for us *first*... - Okay, first there was the fanlib thing, which though stupid, I didn't feel the need to comment on because so many people were doing it better.//But what's going on now? What's going on now has me *angry*. -
- kitsune13: Response to Recent Events - What I want, here, is for y'all to list every single piece of published fiction you can think of with ILLEGAL SEXUAL ACTIVITIES, like incest or underage sex. -
- bookshop: the fandom voice. - Our fandom voice can be far-reaching, and it can have a powerful, powerful momentum that carries over into all sorts of spaces[...]but until we acknowledge that power ourselves, and use it, fandom itself will never be safe space. -
- gmth: Holy shit, where'd the time go? - Let's say you have a time machine and could go back to talk to yourself at the beginning of your days in fandom. What advice would you give yourself? What would you tell yourself to do or say differently? -
- solvent90: what. - from fic I love and learn from and am frightened by, to fic I cheerfully enjoy from the id, to fic I guiltily enjoy from the id, to fic that squicks me out and makes me backbutton faster than the human eye can see -- I want fandom to be a safe space for a -
- ancarett: How to Get Attention with a Dotcom Complaint - In short? Don't take this lying down. There are concrete steps that can be taken, but sending emails will not be enough. -
- ethrosdemon: MAN!I feel like a traitor actually backi - I am sort of vacillating between sighing at all of this and thinking that maybe we should move en masse to another place that is more conducive to our way of life than lj is/is becoming/will be. Living in a state of constant paranoia and fright really isn -
- zellieh: Pit of Weasels, take 2. - that's my problem with Chris Williams - he's an outsider. It's as simple as that. He has no right to speak for us, or to claim to know what we want, because he's not one of us. -
- furiosity: everybody's gonna love today
If these Intrepid Wanker people (or whatever their name is) could push SixApart to make LJ suspend journals, we in fandom can push right back and demand that LJ unsuspend those journals that don't deserve to be suspended. - glockgal: Fanart, good god! What is it good for....Er. Anyway.
The WHAT IS FANART Poll: - catrinella: "Permanent Suspensions", or Strikethrough2007 - This post is an attempt to consolidate information about Six Apart/LiveJournal's decision to "permanently suspend" user accounts and communities for Terms of Service violations related to illegal sexual activity -
- lolaraincoat: It *might* be a coincidence, but ... nope. Not a coincidence. - But all I really want to do here is come up with as complete and accurate a listing as I can. I am categorizing the journals by their intent (primarily intended to support child abuse and pedophiles, or not) -
- sageness: psa - The "freedom of speech" issue is complicated[...]No argument there. But something is going on when innocent people are falsely accused of committing illegal acts and are stripped of their possessions (their journals) because of it. -
- hesychasm: not-so-omnibus post on issues confronting fanfiction and the law - As far as legal remedies or causes of action go, I am not a lawyer (yet), but it doesn't seem to me that we have any. -
- freifraufischer: FanLib, Hubris, and the Power of Self Deception - FanLibâ™s executives do not understand the culture they have blundered into with all the grace of a 18th century British tea merchant in India. In fact, they have less grace, for at least the British East India Company knew they were selling tea, and who -
- hector_rashbaum: OOC vs AU - People. OOC and AU are. Not. Synonyms. They do not go hand-in-hand (for the most part), one is not a prerequisite of the other. They just aren't. -
- cleo2584: Fic poll
The plural of fic is... - dodger_winslow: And Someone Yelled Fire in a Crowded Theater ... - If you have an interest in your interest list that might pose a problem, take it off. Five fucking minutes, if even that. But if you flock everything? Especially your fanfic?//And someone yelled fire in a crowded theater. And people died. -
- viverra_libro: [in fandom_lawyers] WFI Debacle - To restate, I do not think the deletions have anything to do with fandom, or a desire to censor/give in to wackos. LJ is, believe it or not, caught in a fairly tricky spot under US law. -
