lizbee | End of an era! (Reply)

I glanced at my DW reading page, saw a lot of consecutive posts from people announcing the deletion of their LJs, and then saw the bit where they are requiring users to accept a (poorly translated) (legally non-binding in translation) (apparently quite dodgy) new ToS.

I'm sure it's still a matter of closing the barn door long after the horses have fled, but in this case, I choose to think that I am the horse, and I have fled to Dreamwidth. (In this metaphor, maybe I just popped back to set the stable on fire? I'm not sure.)

I guess my gut feeling is that, while I will accept a certain amount of dodginess from an online service, there comes a point where it's all just too much ... dodge.
