I applaud the work that LJ has done to make this a safer place by deleting the journals of actual pedophiles and their support groups. Unfortunately, this was done with such a broad brush that perfectly innocent people on either side were smacked with it.
Support groups for rape and incest survivors, lost because of what was in their interests. Survivors of rape and incest who have lost their personal journals; places where they felt safe being able to talk about their experiences and what they have gone through in their lives. Book discussion groups deleted because of the subject matter of the book they have chosen RPG characters--FICTIONAL CHARACTERS--lost with no way to retrieve the information. All because of one or two interests.
I realize that there are a lot of journals and communities to sort through. But would it really have taken all that much time to actually LOOK at the user infos of these journals marked for deletion?
I applaud LJ for deleting the journals of sexual predators. But when upwards of a quarter of deleted journals (at least) have been deleted when their CONTENT was perfectly legal, something is wrong.
Please, LiveJournal. It's time to take a closer look at what has happened.
