LJ Strike

[snogged]

Okay...when I found out that search terms like "bisexuality", "depression," and "fanfiction" weren't coming up with any results, I was a little ticked and agreed with part of the reason that people chose to strike today.

However, I did searches for each one of these terms and found plenty of results. I even found Pro-Ana (Pro Anorexia Groups) and Pro-Mia (Pro-Bulimia) groups and I disagree with both of those but LJ is allowing them to come up in the search engine.

Seach results for depression:

(The first result was for a group called proanorexia)

Search results for bisexuality:
http://www.livejournal.com/interests.bml?int=bisexuality
(The first result was for a lesbian group)

Seach results for fanfiction:

I undestand that people have the choice to strike if they want too but I've had a Plus account (one with Ads) and the ads never bothered me. Yes, it sucks that LJ opted not to tell anyone but I've never seen another corporation put up a massive announcement when they decide to change something.

And that's my two cents.

Thanks for listening.
