Livejournal is apparently reporting the deleted users to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Uh, yeah, I don't have much to say. Except wow, now I think I really am leaving LJ.

That's. That's seriously, seriously fucked up.

These people could rival Bush for overal stupidity. I seriously can't wrap my mind around this.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Right. The stupidity here is almost unbelievable.

[kessie.livejournal.com]

This whole thing is unbelievable. I've never seen a company mess up as badly as 6A have.

[gamera.livejournal.com]

That's... easily the most disturbing thing about this entire affair. My god.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Jesus.

[keelieinblack.livejournal.com]

Dear god. I hope someone lets the two of them them know about this.

Every time I think I've managed to reconcile myself to staying with LJ for the sake of my remaining flist, they do something that gives me another shove towards the door.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

I'd think they know, since it's up in a public post, and they're both probably following the issue much more closely than I am.

Yeah. I'd love to be lazy and just stay here, but wow. This is just offensive.

There's an awful lot of jumping at shadows just now and I think this is one of them.

They would have to report if the posts' contents were illegal and that's not something that's been said.

I do agree with swansong33 that the art of the deleted users comes nowhere close to the legal definition of child pornography. However, I don't think that guarantees that 6A/Livejournal wouldn't have reported them regardless. Why would coffeechica have brought it up if she wasn't at least threatening to do so?

[doire]

It was a direct response to nomadmatan who asked

A general question for anyone on the LJ/6A team:

Are you just deleting the child pornography, or are you also forwarding that information to the government agencies responsible for policing it?

I thought coffeechica's reply was reasonable as were the first two paragraphs of markf's elaboration, but third was ill advised stirring-it-up.

Yeah. This, combined with their official support of pro-ana communities and I am out of here. In case you haven't seen it yet:

I have seen the anorexia aspect of this, which is just unbelievably stupid. And offensive.

[pukingtoreador.livejournal.com]

Damn. I guess I'll have to watch you from Greatest Journal or whatever.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah. Bad timing for you, sadly. I'll be sure to link everything, and I need to get many things set up before I transfer, at least.
