Do we know LJ's stand on Putin vs Russian resistance?

Although I prefer DreamWidth because they operate with integrity, I will continue to crosspost to LJ since I still have friends on LJ who won't come here, and for other reasons personal and political I will elaborate below

I found these articles today, and they helped a little bit:

http://heavy.com/news/2017/04/livejournal-russia-censorship-bans-political-solicitation-usr-agreement/

It's definitely part of a crack down on resistors to Putin's regime as baranduin has said: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/mar/31/russia-censors-websites-advertising-sunday-protest/

This above article from the Washington Times, a conservative newspaper, makes me think that the new TOS was imposed on SUP by Putin's regime, so even if their staff is full of intelligence insiders, it may not be the way all LJ staffers at SUP want to go. I'm not ready to boycott them if any of the Russian people can make use of the venue in some way, let alone resistors, and the more communication venues available to them, even compromised ones, the better.
