Strikethrough2007: link compilation
[This is an update of an entry I made last night. I added as many relevant links to the current developments as I could find, and sorted them into categories for better orientation. If you have anything to add, please do so. This entry will get updated as I find new stuff to add. [Last edit: 1/6/2007, 0:18 AM]
And just when people started believing it was a rumour. pornish_pixies got TOS'ed. It seems that an entity called "Warrior for Innocence" complained to TPTB and got the plug pulled on various personal and fannish journals/communities listing questionable interests in the user info (incest, chan, etc...) lolaraincoat compiled a list of targeted journals/communities.
Pornish Pixies' mod heard back from LJ-abuse, her report is here. And this is where it starts to get really interesting. liz-marcs talks about her encounters with Warriors for Innocence here and here.
Check for new developments in catrinella's round up.
bookshop posts a great response to the recent lj-purge and FanLib: A Call To Arms.
If fandom wants to exist in the current healthy and autonomous space it occupies, it is going to have to fight for that space. Our fandom voice can be far-reaching, and it can have a powerful, powerful momentum that carries over into all sorts of spaces - gay rights, women's rights, transgendered rights, citizen journalism, all levels of political activism - but until we acknowledge that power ourselves, and use it, fandom itself will never be safe space.
We have *got* to stop letting people define what fandom is for us.

My advise: stay calm, check your user info for "questionable" interests, backup journals/communities (always a good idea), do NOT link to WARRIORSFORINNOCENCE.ORG (they monitor their referals) to stay off their radar, look out for new developments/ways to fight it.
And just when people started believing it was a rumour. pornish_pixies got TOS'ed. It seems that an entity called "Warrior for Innocence" complained to TPTB and got the plug pulled on various personal and fannish journals/communities listing questionable interests in the user info (incest, chan, etc...) lolaraincoat compiled a list of targeted journals/communities.
Pornish Pixies' mod heard back from LJ-abuse, her report is here. And this is where it starts to get really interesting. liz-marcs talks about her encounters with Warriors for Innocence here and here.

My advise: stay calm, check your user info for "questionable" interests, backup journals/communities (always a good idea), do NOT link to WARRIORSFORINNOCENCE.ORG (they monitor their referals) to stay off their radar, look out for new developments/ways to fight it.
