Shamelessly stolen from [info]plush:



Livejournal

Working hard everyday to make it as convenient, quick, and simple as possible for every red-neck, quasi-religious, shamelessly bigoted, hopelessly hypocritical, hyper-sensitive little asshat to determine what kind of content will and will not be allowed, for the protection of it's revenue stream safety and well being of the precious, innocent children.

Because SixApart just doesn't have the manpower to censor you all, and it's easier to dupe it's users into doing it for them.

I think it just promotes the silly mentality these days that it's perfectly acceptable to get up in arms about every little fucking thing that might "offend" you. "Offensive Content" could mean ANYTHING. For instance I read an article earlier this morning about a British woman in Sudan who was arrested because she offended Muslims when she allowed one of her students to name a teddy bear Muhammad. They were actually marching in the streets yelling for her execution. Anyone can find anything offensive for any reason, no matter what guidelines LJ puts down for what is regarded as such. I mean do they honestly think that the entire userbase is going to agree with their definition of "offensive"? People are just going to see the buttom and interpret how they want to interpret it.

Well, they're not about to alienate their fundie population or their advertisers, so I daresay their definition is very different to ours. I think they're actually relying on the fundies to flag these things so they can reenact a bold/strikethrough, but of course, I'm pessimistic about anything Six Apart does these days. :P

That story, when I read it a few days ago, made me cry.
