Um, new user agreement on LJ? Didn't read it all yet, logged out until I see reaction to it. Did see, as I skimmed, that they can change it just by posting a new version, and our agreement is assumed. Ummmm.....

You are responsible for everything posted in your name. Certain consumer protections under Russian law do not apply because the service is provided for free. Major restrictions on sock puppets and bots.

And the English-language translation on the website is NOT considered legally binding. Only the original Russian version.

So much for my permanent account...

Yeah, that was my response. I'm out.

You agree they can email you advertisements. You can delete your stuff but they retain it (some of it? That part I'm not clear on because it relates to a Russian statute) for a year and can provide that to Russian authorities if required.

And once you agree, they can post a new agreement at that same location *without telling you they changed the file* and you agreed to that also.

I am not interested in saying yes to anything on that site. Pretty much everything in my LJ journal is public anyway, and I haven't posted there in some years. Tried crossposting a note to everyone there, it will be interesting to see if it posts or is "screened" like comments are. Fortunately I JUST posted a link to my DW journal last night.

Yeah, they're not letting cross-posting go through. I have a link to DW on every one of my earlier cross-posts, but I'd have liked to post a "leaving" notice. :( Or maybe not, since that's just giving them more content.
