LJ Abuse vs Boob Nazis
[info]cali4niachef is informed by LJ Abuse her default icon is inappropriate and to cease using it by the 23rd or face having her account suspended.

Boob Nazis. LJ Abuse. Breastfeeding Icons.

I think we can all see where this is going. ([info]booju_mooju first of all it seems.)

Once the anti-breastfeeding comms get hold of this it should really take off.

Edit the first Thanks to [info]quickfade Apparently [info]hardvice is responsible Icons in comments NSFW.

Edit the second Thanks to a mousie. [info]cf_hardcore join the party.

Edit the third Thanks to [info]freezer It hits [info]metaquotes.

Edit the forth [info]stupid_free weigh in. And [info]fuckyoulist makes an appearance too.

Edit the fifth Just how much further can it spread? As far as retarded_icons, blackfolk and feminist apparently.

Edit the sixth [info]hardvice shows solidarity with the [info]boob_nazis. And [info]magdalene74 has a new lj approved breastfeeding icon.

And to think when I originally posted this I was worried it wasn't wanky enough.

Edit the seventh Annnnnnnnnnd here's anti-feminist joining in the fun.

Edit the eighth Predictably - Exposing LJ Abuse

What 'legal reasons' could LJ have for not policing the site? I can see it being a practical problem--LJ's just too big to check each and every member's default icon on a regular basis--but I don't get how that's a legal issue.

I think it has to do with the assumption of responsibility; it LJ says it actively enforces its TOS, and then someone makes a violation of TOS that's also a violation of law somewhere (say, for example, Australia's take on written porn) then LJ is liable for prosecution by that government.

It was a long time ago that I read about this, so I don't remember the technicals. Basically, by policing the site rather than just acting on reports, LJ would be assuming more legal responsibility for the site's content than they can handle. They could get into trouble for hosting illegal content, for example.

If you want specifics, try emailing them.

OK, I can see the logic of that. Thanks.
