Potential Move to AWS

I'm reading through the AWS Acceptable Use Policy. I don't think anything there precludes hosting InsaneJournal there. I feel that our existing Terms of Service falls in line with this. I'd love to have an open discussion about this, so please comment with concerns. Please keep all conversations civil.


No Illegal, Harmful, or Offensive Use or Content

  • Echoing everyone else in that I use IJ solely for RPing (and have done so for over a decade and have spent a whole lot in paid/perm accounts, and would love to continue to do so), so my main concern is that it won't suddenly become livejournal/tumblr and have some out of nowhere restriction in content that means risking being banned or having content deleted.

    The bit about 'offensive content' is worded vaguely enough to be concerning at least, because sure stuff like CP is off-limits anywhere, but what about anything else?

    What if we played out violent scenes? Or things with adult content? Is that obscene or inappropriate enough? Are we banned from anything 'non-consensual' even if it's as ficticious as the latest GoT episode? Does it make a difference if it's obvious fiction? Would things such as f-locking entries be enough to keep us covered, or would we have to keep all content family-friendly, as tumblr currently expects users to do?
    • Adding that I'd happily contribute to a fundraiser/sale for new servers if that means not having these risks.
