What is up LJ fuckery!?
So, those people at livejournal are at it again, only this time with massively invading your privacy.

Their new facebook connection allows a person to crosspost their comment from your locked livejournal post to facebook or twitter AND INCLUDES A LINK TO THE LOCKED POST. Which, fine, they can't read unless they have permission but that is TOTALLY NOT THE POINT. There is, currently, no way to opt out of this service. Even if you do not chose to post your content on facebook or twitter, other people can take their comments from your journal and post them. WITH LINKS BACK TO THE ENTRY.
Uh. Hells no. If this doesn't get fixed, I will no longer be crossposting to LJ and will only be posting to dreamwidth. Fair warning. This is the kind of total bullshit that makes me so, so happy that
mark and
denise created DW.
