Yesterday The powers at B on (LJ) decided that they didn't like some blogs and deleted them.

500 hundred of them.

With no warning.

There is a lot of speculation as to why.
Didn't like the art..., didn't like the fanfiction...didn't like the topics.

Here is a quote from C/Net
Thousands of LiveJournal customers are rebelling against the company's recent decision to censor hundreds of sex-themed discussion groups, a broad swath that has led to the removal of literary critiques and fan-written fiction about Harry Potter.

Make no mistake, people were pissed, 30,000 people said so in 12 hrs. Many had paid or permanent accounts, and LJ took the money with prior knowledge of what was on the accounts.

So the question arises, if someone complains about the art here or our blogs, would *DA* shut them all down in a mass strike too?

I to know the sting of DA, they didnt like some of the pics that I put up and took them down with some lame excuse, I don't know why DA thinks it can play with someone's account even a paid one, so i'm wondering why don't some of the ones that got banned or even had some kinda violation thing against stand up and boycott DA for awile? do you think DA would even notice?
