I'm moving over here. I liked having continuity at livejournal, & unlike many I thought they might be able to stay the course. I was rather cheered, not discouraged, by the DOS attacks in the past--figuring that if someone was after the livejournal people, it was probably because they were on the side of democracy in the weird political scene in Russia.

But clearly, this new user agreement shows that, whatever they were doing in the past, they have either knuckled under or allied with the oligarch-run, reactionary Russian government. There's too many pieces of it that imply danger to vulnerable people. Not the least of which is having toi sign that I will obey laws whose text is not available to me to read (I searched on several of the specific laws cited in the new user agreement-- I could find lists that included them, but no text, particularly no translated text--and of course what I would need is a certified translated text, anyway, so I knew what the law was.

My feeling is, if you won't show me the law you want me to follow, it's probably terrible.

Anyway, here I am.
