femmequixotic: [in pornish_pixies] UPDATE - Okay, I just got this email from Abuse. -- jupiter_star: An open letter to Livejournal - Over the next few days, I want to collect a list of contradictory statements that LiveJournal and SixApart have posted regarding the Strikethrough '07 debacle. -
- wistfuljane: My correspondence with LJ clears somethings, but fails to allay my concerns.
Yesterday I sent an e-mail to LiveJournal at feedback@livejournal about the recent suspensions: - mmmchelle: I hear they were protecting kids in Salem, too - For me, the implication that a group of people are subhuman has been one of the most disturbing partss of the discussions that have sprung up around child pornography and pedophilia in the wake of the journal deletions. -
- fandrogyny: There's something happening here... - I think fandom has a huge opportunity here to do something very special and important. We can build our own house, designate our own playspace. We can evolve. Personally, I'm tickled by the idea of fandom owning its space and operating in its personal, no -
- caras_galadhon: The Omega Fan, or The Sky Remains Above Us, Madame Little-- - I hate that fandom's first response to every crisis is to scream its fool head off, stomp its patent leathers and threaten to hold its breath until it turns blue. -
- morgandawn: OMG She's At It Again! Stop With The Meta (Boldthrough 07) - So in conclusion: poke LJ with a sharp stick. Donate to the ACLU and the EFF. The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. -
- jadelennox: make a change that matters - 6A are incompetent at communication, customer service, and consistency, but they are reacting in fear of very real demons. Give a little money to the people who successfully fight those demons, who fight DOPA, COPA, CIPA, COPPA, and all the rest of the ma -
- penknife: Penknife's adventures in backing up - I've always avoided LJ archiving tools in the past, because I'd heard anecdotal reports of their causing loss of entries. I can't guarantee that if you try either or both of these tools, your journal will not catch fire or explode, but I can tell you what -
- liz_marcs: up, LJ really did tell us to drop dead... - What happens when you get that one guy/gal on LJAbuse who doesn't give a shit about ages, but the fact that you've got a same-sex pairing and that's all the excuse they need? Or what if you got someone who thinks that all pr0n should be FLocked (I don't j -
- lori: Livejournal's official response to the journal deletions - Now, the part that gets me - is where they said the art had no artistic value. -
- bubble_blunder: Breaking News.... - Well it is official. LJ has now officially designated the members of The Thought Police, and determined which members of the "community" get to be the ones to decide what does and does not meet the definition of obscenity using The Miller Test. -
- brynwulf: Guys! I have things to say!! - yeah, yeah, we love LJ/we hate LJ, but we don't want to leave LJ? My god, we're a lazy bunch!! -
- umbo: more on the stuff going on - I'm sorry, folks, but there is no way whatsoever that someone can argue they should have the right to post that under the LJ TOS, or that it wasn't completely clear that such an image was against LJ's standards of acceptability. -
- gmth: Well, shit. Now I'm really torn. - So fandom's constant threats to migrate are, IMO, pretty ridiculous if the idea is to somehow force LJ to change the way it does business. -
- rivkat: Law like love - Depictions that aren't pictures or video of actual minors are judged by the standards for obscenity, not child porn. It is true that the moral panic doesn't distinguish between those, so what the law actually says is not the end of the matter. -
- harriet_spy: Small PSA - So I wrote a polite email to the JF mods, asking them to delete that comment or at least remove "[my full name]" from the comment. They refused, for a variety of reasons, of which the one they finally settled on was that "[my full name]" might also be a p -
- kalpurna: Boldthrough '07: Uh, we're child molesters? Again? - Given Boldthrough '07, I think we should talk about legal issues regarding underage characters. NOTE THAT I AM NOT A LAWYER. -
- bottle_of_shine: Fandom: active players, lurkers, and how kneejerk lockdowns hurt communities - Locking down all fic because of attacks on other fic/art with different themes is hard for lurkers. [...] We're a varied bunch, there's no "right" way to be. -
- fabu: Same song, 32nd verse - Yes, the legal concerns will follow us whereever we go, but I have hopes that other journaling services will handle those concerns with more grace: communicating the TOS clearly and without frequent changes and backtracking -
- wilde_stallyn: LJ "Acceptable Content" Test Case - LJ draws a line - ari_o's test case was a good example of a pretty average Snarry PWP, it didn't tell us where lj was going to draw the line. I'm a kinky fuck, and I wanted to know what would happen to a borderline case -
- toft_froggy: Some things - Where is it going to stop? Are we all going to sit here, watching sections of the fandom be pushed out to live on their own somewhere else, and pretend it doesn't have anything to do with us? -
