Does this mean, under S2, if I make a public post in a community, that comment will be sent to the ad-targeting server? And this is for everyone even paid accounts?

If you make a public post, when it shows up on the friends page of a Sponsored+ account, whether you posted it in your own journal or a community, it will be sent to the ad-targeting server. And yes, this means everyone, even Paid and Permanant accounts, will be getting their entries scanned.

Like I said to Mike last night, "I don't have my journal locked because of issues with stalkers, I have it locked because the LJ staff just finished reading 1984 and decided to take some business ideas from it."

Though it really is locked due to stalkers. :P
