After
the latest post at
lj_biz regarding 'illegal and harmful content,' and because LJ/6A are not clear if linking to public or locked posts, on LJ or off LJ, will result in a suspension, we've decided to adjust our policy regarding linking until LJ clarifies their position. With any luck, they will continue to respond to
bubble_blunder's
open letter as well as
femmequixotic's
open letter which specifically addresses concerns for artists and writers posting in locked communities.
Until that time,
sirius_news will take the following action:
Fic, art, or poetry that includes at least one under 18 character in an explicit scenario, whether that work is found on LJ in public or locked posts, or off LJ, will not be linked to until LJ clarifies what it considers 'transmission of harmful content.' We do not want artists who continue to post to be singled out by LJ through links originating from this newsletter.
For now, we're staying at LJ and will continue to monitor this distressing situation. If you have any questions or comments regarding this decision, please let us know via comments here or via email at
siriusnews@googlemail.com.
