So I haven't posted in a good long while, and I don't think I will again. The recent sale of LiveJournal to SUP makes me feel uneasy.
As far as I can tell, they haven't done any serious dissent stifling on the Russian side of things since they took over last year, and they probably won't substantively change the privacy or censorship policies for english-language blogs now, but I just don't trust SUP with my data.
So I'm not quite sure how to proceed. I try to keep in mind the null-privacy principle with regard to posts and comments, friends-locked or not, but I don't like the feeling I get from LJ's new parent company. I like reading and keeping up with y'all, so I'm not planning to completely drop the account, but I should ask ... is there another social networking site I should join?
