cool ^_^

censoring of peadaphilic, pro-ana or illegal content i could understand....but fanfic, yaoi, faeries erc arent hurting anyone, whilst the links to depression and bisexuality are often a source of help groups so dropping them is not only unhelpful but also insulting, as if they're ashamed of such groups and they need to be hidden.

They've reinstated some filtered content claiming to the press (but not to the users) that it was an error...but how the hell do you 'accidently' put a line of coding into a programme than bans certain subjects...the answer is you cant. So the strike is still planned as a way of protesting against the way they've dealt with these issues, the way they've snuck about instead of addressing the users, and for messing users about without explanation or apology.
