And I thought fanlib was a worry...
- A group called Warriors for Innocence are searching Lj's and comms by interest. I assume they use keywords like 'rape' or 'incest'. You can read Liz Marcs for more info on the group, its aims and its policy. I would advise against directly linking to their site, as one person (whose comment I can't find) suggested they are using backtrack, and I believe this is possible. ETA: Liz has received another letter from the organisation, where they claim they did not intentionally target fandom.
- The group then reports the lj or comm to Lj abuse, who permanently delete or suspend the account in question.
jamoche is collecting a list, on which comments are anonymous and screened.
lolaraincoat is also keeping track of deleted comms.
catrinella also has a fairly detailed post on the subject.
- Several people such as
liviapenn are warning fen to be careful about their interests. 'fiction' is okay, 'crazy spacecest' is probably not.
- If you are worried about bahleetion, you can backup your lj at l jarchive (thanks to
seperis for the link)
- It's probably a good idea to keep an eye on
fandom_lawyers
femmequixotic has a good post which explains her experience with Lj abuse, and asks that people not blame them for the current kerfuffle. I have to say I agree, they're in a bit of a bind.
- ETA:
dorrie6 has started a Greatest Journal comm for the discussion of the issue, and its here
- ETA 2:
cordelia_v has a post on what we can do to push back at SixApart here
That's what I've got so far, folks. Personally I'm with the 'WTF?' exclamations which can be heard on flists all over lj. I'm also with the slight paranoia, though. All my entries from January back to 1999 have been flocked, which you can do en masse if you have a paid account. If you're not on the flist and want added, or have more links for me, you can e-mail me at rudhoreiel@gmail.com or comment here.
