Is this about US law, though, or about LJ getting proactive about attacking content that might border on illegal? Because - not that I know much about US law - I think it's unlikely that fannish activity is illegal (at least I think the copyright issues are a much greyer area than obscenity and/or child harm issues), and fandom would have the same issues anywhere on the internet; but if it's about LJ being all proactive, then. Yes. I suppose it could be.
My reading? It's LJ using something they refer to as "US law" as a cover for their own site policies. But, dude. "US law", especially obscenity law, varies from municipality to municipality, let alone from the state to federal levels.
I think their time would be better spent hiring a spokesperson who could say things clearly WITHOUT USING EMOTICONS, but that might be just me. *g*
Burr86 isn't noticeably an improvement, however. Even the people I know who like him agree that as public relations representative, he's... a technician. (WE MISS YOU BRAD.)
