I don't like this LJ alarm
May. 30th, 2007 02:04 pmI am alarmed by posts in other people's journals and by the disappearance (i.e. flocking down) of some other regulars-on-my-flists' journals. What I have heard and read is that certain LJ-comms have been suspended by LJ because they contained content that could be construed as illegal among their interests. I got most of my info from
liviapenn post here. This has got a lot of people, it seems, worried and people have changed their own user interests.
I am not entirely sure what is illegal about slash. Incest and chan I can see but the sex stuff? And there's been so much debate about the copyright stuff recently, surely that can't be construed as illegal? And does this relate to fanlib at all, because fanlib has raised interest? I have no idea.
Should I be backing up my fic posts? My journal? Or is this just panicmongering and groundless alarmism? I've checked the lj-news comm and there was nothing there about it.
