Sigh.

Well, I need to reread all the crap and "clarification" LJ/SA has posted, but basically, as I see it, they can ban users at will for questionable content that isn't even hosted on LJ servers, but remotely loaded using the img tag to load the images on to the LJ site.

They can ban users at will for content that is friendslocked or even private, if this is (somehow) reported to them.

I came to LJ several years ago for the community... well, to be honest, it was to continue to be able to read my then-GF's friendslocked posts after she left for school again. I've gotten MORE reasons to stay the longer I've been here. I've paid (or had paid for me) $109 over the years.

I don't particularly want to leave, but I have a VERY bad feeling about SA/LJ's "obscenity" policies and their incredibly vague and subjective terms of service that they are claiming they are not changing, even though they have changed how they are applying these terms of service.

My other journal will be deleted. I may wipe out all my posts here and just use the account to read friendslocked posts and comment occasionally, but I'm not sure. It feels really Big Brotherish and being a gay woman makes me feel like I've got a target painted on my chest in terms of "morality" and "obscenity" and such, particularly as they're doing a conservative reading of US law to determine the legality of various things.

Anyways. Not sure what I'm gonna do, but it's not like I post an obscene amount anyways. AHAHAHA I MADE A FUNNY.

I swear to God, staring at the news comments for five days has dropped my IQ at least 20 points.

I am, however, continually amused by the various images I made and used during the "boldthrough" protest.

( Shiny! )

Blah. I'm so wide awake.
