Overreaction thy name is LJ

[scottishlass]

After closing down or temperarily suspending both user accounts as well as comms due to pedophilistic charges in said comms and by users, LiveJournal is now overreacting. While I still applauded LiveJournal's consequent handling of the pedophile comms, now all I can do is shaking my head over some of the antics LJ is pulling due to the Warriors For Innocence shenanigans (which incidentally are on blogger.com. Anyone know if WFI ever did a thorough search through the blogger.com comms and users? I doubt it.)

ETA: The wonderful and ever suspicious thelana looked a bit further into their pages and found some very interesting things: read here

Anyway, now LiveJournal - after closing a comm which was dedicated to Nabokov's work, esp. Lolita as well as several LJ's by Gothic Lolitas (rolls eyes) AND yaoi manga comms (fanfic etc.), they are now moving onward to delete questionable user icons. OI!!

What will be next? Certain dorama, manga and Johnny's icons prohibited?? *pets her icon of Tsu-kun and Taku-chan*
Child safety is good and nice, but this is going too far IMHO. Instead of doing a panicky purge every few years or so when someone is actually threatening to sue, keep track of certain comms and tighten the security. But this is ridiculous.
