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.

Why This Matters (To Me)

I have seen a few folk say that it doesn't matter what happens to fandom, because Warriors For Innocence are doing a good thing and getting people who molest children off the 'net. Let me be clear, I have no problem with Lj tossing actual comms or journals which advocate or enable the abuse of children. But hey, when they delete a Nabokov comm or a survivor group? That just takes it too far. It wouldn't be so bad if Lj investigated each case and weighed the individual merits of the comm. If they had bothered to check the Lolita comm they would have known that it was no threat to children.
But why be sensible when we can have a good old fashioned knee-jerk bahleetion fest. To be honest the group scared the crap out of me the first time someone pointed me towards the blog. It reminded me of the time that a mob attacked a woman cause they thought she was a child molester. They confused the words Paediatrician and paedophile. The article, by the way can be seen here.
So you know what? Fuck it. Go leave a comment on lj dw_news, join fandom_counts, make yourself heard.
ETA: cussedness has done some google-fu and found that not only do the Warrior-chumps hate child-molesters, they hate bi, gay and trans folk too.  The post on the lovely WFI'ers is here
