An Issue Of Freedom Of Speech

[poliphilo]

 Listen folks, this is not the time to quit LJ.

This article  explains what is going on.  LJ is the main platform for free speech in Russia, the hackers are trying to take it down. If we withdraw our custom we're doing exactly what the bad guys want.

Hang on in there.

The answer is to use other sites as back-up, I suppose. Dreamwidth for instance.

Is there any site that's entirely safe from hacking?

The other issue is readership, some days I am lucky to get half a dozen. You have a point in that once it is posted it is "out there". Checked on my March 09 posts and there are still getting hits...from China...

LJ has been on the decline for several years now- but not in Russia apparently.

It is the main conduit for opposition, hence the hacking.

And that's why I feel bound to go on supporting it.

Nothing I have to say here is so urgent it can't wait a day or two to be posted:)
