I read the new terms of service for LiveJournal, and the no politics and no gay stuff only applies to Russian accounts. Someone with a US account can say whatever they want. I'm keeping my LiveJournal account -- but I also opened a Dreamdwidth account.

It's a creepy policy, though, and it doesn't make me feel better that Russians are trying to influence our politics and government. Or that United States ISPs may soon be able to block or slow down whatever they want. I'm not sure there's a safe harbor.

I, too, feel sad.
