They're also running up against the joy that is the International community, too. For example, why the hell should someone from Amsterdam give a crap about the laws in Las Angeles?
Then there was the good example of the same-sex marriage issue. Legal in several countries and in one state, not legal in 23 states. Saying, "Oh. Yeah. Advocating for that illegal thing is okay, but child porn (which they do not clearly define since it appears to be a "I know it if I see it" standard — which the U.S. Supreme Court has proven is no standard at all) is not okay."
On what is that decision based?
And also, happens when corporate policy changes and now advocating for same-sex marriage is a bannable offense. Unlikely, but could happen. You (the journal owner) decides to comply and no long write posts advocating fr same-sex marriage. Can LJ go back 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or even 10 years to hold something you wrote before advocating for same-sex marriage became a bannable offense against you?
While I understand the heard-and-fast rules are impossible in this situation because people and the Internet are constantly evolving, people need (at the very least) some kind of clearly worded guidelines to make sense of this and they're not.
Instead it's throwing more vaguely worded crap in our direction followed by, "Can we get your money now, plz?"
