In honor of perm account sale, my soapbox let me show you it!

I'm sure you all are tired of me talking about this, but *I'm* not sick of it yet, so there. I'm especially not sick of my "I has a soapbox" icon.

If you're wondering why I'm still upset about people in positions of authority deciding that pedophiles don't require any sort of hearing other than summary vigilante deletion, this news item is why.

Yeah, or we can entrap them on live TV! God bless America!

...although technically it's not entrapment. 9_9

It's carefully design to not fit the legal definition of entrapment, while still *being* entrapment in every way that matters. Much like what LJ did didn't fit a *legal* definition of censorship, but was still, in fact, censorship.

The fact that they've turned it into a live televised freakshow - the fact that they've *let* them do that - is one of those things that's so horrifying that I can't think about it very often without attempting to break things.
