Stop taking over the Internet, Facebook!

In case you were wondering, this is how I feel about LJ's new decision to add Twitter and Facebook crossposting options to entries and comments:

Love the gif... but it's not like LJ's making it mandatory or anything.

[greenconverses]

Yeah, but it's still obnoxious change they didn't tell us about and there's no opt-out option.

[allisnow]

Isn't the opt out just not to sign up?

But that doesn't stop other people from being able to re-post their comments on your entries to their FB/Twitter platforms. That extends to comments on f-locked entries too, from what people are saying in the news post.

It also doesn't stop Facebook users from commenting on your LJ either, unless you restrict it commenting to friends only, I suppose.

I had read on another post that locked posts are still locked. As in, they can click on it, but they're still going to get the no permission page, same as if they 'manually' linked to it before.

And I screen non-friends anyway, so it's no biggie :)
