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.

You are perfectly right. I was about to post something about this too. The article is from last time this happened, I have been following one of the main "targets" of these attacks on LJ since then: http://navalny.livejournal.com/ . google translator does a passable enough job to understand what he is writing about. I have commented also today on his entry that the attack on LJ is having the effect of making more people outside Russia aware of what is happening there.. even people who would not habitually follow politics. We will continue to support them, at least ideally!

That's a very good point. Most of us would be completely unaware of navalny etc were it not for the hackers.
