I probably stuck with LJ for too long, because back in the day I paid for a perpetual premium account—unlimited access and no ads: the urge to get one’s money’s worth out of something you’ve paid for is hard to resist. But the rot has finally gone too far. This Tuesday Livejournal pushed out a revision to their terms of service that emphasize the service runs under Russian law, and specifically requires compliance with Russian law on minors—which makes any discussion of “sexual deviancy” (aka LGBT issues) illegal or at least a violation of the ToS.

got any content you care about on a LJ you don’t use any more? importing to dreamwidth is super easy.
