LJ's definition of hate speech

[rm]

"I must express my deepest concerns that your definition of "hate speech" (as presented on the page that appears when one attempts to flag material as such) does NOT include hateful, violence-encouraging content directed against people based on their sexual orientation or gender identity."

I really think that 6A just doesn't care whether or not the homosexual community has anything to do with LJ. And all the yelling in the world isn't going to get these people to admit that. 6A doesn't want to lose it's right-wing, family-friendly, stock-holder-pleasing base, but they don't want to look like raging un-pc homophobes either, so they keep sitting on the fence, hoping that the gays will go away in disgust and solve the problem for them.

I'm guessing they let Russia buy them, so they no longer have to worry about abiding by US law and can now freely discriminate against anyone and everyone.

Heh. I wrote that before I'd heard about them being bought out by SUP. The latest rumor I've heard is that SUP bought LJ to try and catch political dissidents.

Who knows?
