Spreading links

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.

[gamera.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

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.

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:

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.

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

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Jesus.

[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.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Right. The stupidity here is almost unbelievable.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

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.

[kessie.livejournal.com]

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