Based on the information in this article: http://www.metafilter.com/164293/LiveJournal-represents-social-media-without-borders I'll be moving entirely over to Dreamwidth for my daily journaling.
In summary, we all know that LJ was purchased by a Russian company in 2007, but the servers remained in California and thus were (supposedly) protected by US law and the 1st Amendment. The servers have been moved to Russia, and thus no longer enjoy such protections. Given the country's recent history of meddling and its suppression of communication with its own people, it's time to move out.
I'm archiving my blog (again) so there will be some duplicates over at Dreamwidth until I get everything cleaned up and current. Then I'll be coming back here and systematically deleting all my blog entries, except for this one.
