SixApart/Livejournal have the best idea ever!
So, uh, Livejournal.

Go figure.

Pull up a chair. Get out a beer. Take one sip for:

- each invocation of Big Brother (or any other 1984 reference)
- each mention of censorship
- each mention of the First Amendment
- each reiteration of "It's the PARENTS' job!"
- each person flagging the announcement post as offensive
- each person announcing that LJ/6A will no longer see a penny of theirs

Take one gulp for:

- each Godwin's
- each comparison of this new system to rape
- each assertion that the only people complaining are the child molestors who want free porn

And before you know it, you'll be just drunk enough not to care any more.

[eta] The girl who brought you LJ T-shirt burning now brings you... Honestly, I'm not sure what she's trying to do here.

You know, I'm not even going to read those comments. It's a bright sunny day, work's going well and I'm in a good mood I don't want ruined by wank.
So I'll read them all when I get home.
But really, from what I'm reading, all content is placed under mature filters by the poster/mods, right? And since changing your age on LJ is easier than eating pie, there shouldn't be a problem for anything and LL/SA can say the measures are there, the kids were the cheaters.
Unless everyone's wanking over the flagging issue, which I can see becoming a problem, but come the fuck on.

	Yeah, pretty much everyone's wanking over the flagging issue. I haven't seen anyone complaining over the ability to rate one's own content (except for what the resulting LJ cuts may do to existing cuts that are already figured into the text, thus making certain posts look nonsensical, or eliminating spoiler warnings that are in the cuts, etc) (Reply to this)(Parent)
