LJ Abuse vs Boob Nazis
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. (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 quickfade Apparently hardvice is responsible Icons in comments NSFW.

Edit the second Thanks to a mousie. cf_hardcore join the party.

Edit the third Thanks to freezer It hits metaquotes.

Edit the forth stupid_free weigh in. And 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 hardvice shows solidarity with the boob_nazis. And 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

	Meaning that the rules that apply to public spaces do not necessarily apply to the internet. If I have a website and on that site I want to curtail free speech, well, guess what? I can. If the people who run LJ don't want breastfeeding pics used as default icons, they can do that too. LJ is not a democracy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ok, that makes sense. I took your comment in the sense that the internet isn't a public forum, which, of course, it is. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Technically every site you visit on the internet are private (owned by private entities), except the ones owned by governments, which still aren't public but are technically owned by the people so therefore somewhat public. You also have to pay to get to it, making it even more private.

Think television, there are a handful of televisions stations that you can pick up off the airwaves for free, those are public, the companies that use them got them for free, and those are the ones the government can regulate. There are also a bunch load of stations that you have to pay to get access to, and the government cannot regulate those, because they are owned and payed for by private organizations; those ones are like the internet.
