Interests deleted and unsearchable
Dec. 9th, 2007 09:55 amInteresting story over here about how SUP is making certain words disappear from the LJ world. I can no longer state in my interest lists that I love eating at Cracker Barrel Restaurants. I had heard about this starting when someone realized that one of their interests was no longer listed on their profile, and that it wasn't a glitch that made it so.
It is amazing the way that censorship is coming to be the norm for this, our one beloved Live Journal. Why are we still here? Any of us? You think it doesn't affect you? Think again.
What is that poem? The one where it starts out that one group is persecuted and taken away, one after another, while this person just looks on and does nothing... by the time they get to that final group of people who just stood by and let all the others get taken away, there is no one to come and help them. They only think of the importance of helping to keep others from persecution when they are the ones who are getting slammed into the cattle cars to be taken away and killed. Yes. I am dramatizing the situation on purpose, people.
Linked oppressions are only good in that there are more people who can band together to fight back against the oppressors.
EDIT: I am now discovering that perhaps it was SA that put this crap in the code, right before they offloaded it to SUP... Via: ljspeaks
