How Censorship "Works"

[poliphilo]

So the attack on LJ- and Facebook, Twitter, Blogger and YouTube-  turns out to have been an attempt to silence one man- the Georgian nationalist Cyxymu, who now- thanks to this smart move by his enemies- is famous not only in his own region, but across the entire world.

All I think this will do is accelerate the fencing off of the Internet. People will be isolated in their own 'regions', and whole domains will be cut off. LJ's servers are in RU. That bothers me, which is why I've gone ahead and backed up my journal to Dreamwidth. If LJ goes under, or gets fenced out, we won't be left in the lurch.

I hope that won't happen.

I feel a loyalty to LJ- and its people- and I won't go unless they make me walk the gang-plank...
