What I am wondering is ... what if someone simply typed in an URL but made it unclickable? Not a link. Just text.
So it'd have to be copied and pasted into the browser address bar (and a few adjustments made) before whatever-it-was could be accessed.
SO ... no one would be getting to the site "from" LJ. LJ wouldn't be anywhere in the electronic "footprint" or what-the-hell-ever the terminology would be. I am sure there's some way for Site B to see it was Site A someone was at when they clicked on the link that took them to Site B. ... I've no idea if that would be something LJ is worrying about.
But I *am* wondering if that's a way to avoid "breaking" their chameleonic TOS without completely crippling online communications.
(Frex: putting "dot com" or "dot net" so the address doesn't become a hyperlink. Like so: livejournal dot com.)
