one of many good points made in the last 24 hours
From the c/net article on the "lj revolt"
For its part, LiveJournal's abuse staff has defended pulling the plug on the communities by saying: "Material which can be interpreted as expressing interest in, soliciting or encouraging illegal activity places LiveJournal at considerable legal risk." That led one user, "femmequixotic," to reply: "I list 'gay marriage' among my interests--that is illegal in my state. With this wording my journal could be deleted, without warning, for the fact that I support equal rights of marriage for all."
ps -- I've avoided clicking on any links to W's of I. If you already have, you might want to scan your hard drive for spyware. This may be hysteria or me giving in to an urban legend of sorts, whatev.
