So what? Are you saying that it's the responsibility of every LJ user throughout the world to become conversant with the laws of the location of the LJ server?

No one is saying that LJ has no right to hold us all to those laws. But they have to be specific about WHAT constitutes illegality, WHAT constitutes unacceptable content. That's the issue they keep dodging, and I think it's because they are afraid that if they fully disclose their real plan, they won't sell as many permanent accounts.
