Class act, LJ, all the way!
*cough*

These organizations reflect our values, and we hope they reflect yours.

All but one of these organizations has deep ties to Joi Ito, the President & CEO of Neoteny venture Capital group. You know, the people who put up the money to buy 6A. YOU PEOPLE in other words. If you want to use us, your LJ customer base, to raise money for your pet causes, fine. But at the VERY LEAST you should have acknowledged these links, instead of painting this as altruism on your parts. It's shady.

  • EFF - An organization that MAY well "advocate free speach on the web" (something 6A doesn't, but another argument, another time) BUT EFF has also been involved in court cases that have benifited Joi Ito's business/person. [1] [2]

  • RAINN - Real charity, needed work. Also awesome window dressing to lend this "charity drive" credibility?

  • Creative Commons - Which Joi Ito helped found, and sits on the board. [1]

  • WITNESS - which Joi Ito is on the board. [1]


Yep. I GUESS this really DOES reflect your values!

...and thanks, I'll just donate to RAINN on my own.

talk about shady. That is probably the little tidbit of info about lj that I find most alarming. Close enough to fraud (the nondisclosure part) for my tastes to never do business with them.
