Because it makes sense to say something -

Yeah, yeah, I know. Journals dropping left, right and center because of - wait a moment. Stop. Think. THEN react, okay?

catrinella seems to have a handle on things, and in some key aspects, actually has gone out to test the waters on the whole 'journal deletion' issue.

But it doesn't come as any surprise to me. No? Come on - it's all over Google News - OH, but that was MYSPACE.

*facesmacks*

The attorney general sent a letter to MySpace on Tuesday requesting names from the Minnesota registry or those on other states' registries who have used Minnesota addresses.

"Due to the anonymous nature of the Internet, social networking sites such as MySpace.com provide sexual predators with unprecedented access to children," she said. "They're really con men using the Net to develop rapport with unsuspecting kids."

MySpace announced last week that it would assist officials in all 50 states and provide this information.

UH. I can see LiveJournal wouldn't want that kind of burden. That's manpower, money and liability for litigation from people who sue after LJ turns over their private information to law enforcement. (Not that they'd WIN, mind...but litigation is $$$.)

From a simple business perspective, LJ is simply getting out of the business while they can. MySpace is going to get hammered by this stuff - make no mistake about it.

What makes sense to me is to actually put some intelligence into the interests update - if you think some words are triggers, for fekking sake, BAN them.

There's plenty of reports on "false positives" - and I hope in the weeks to come, any found in this first round will be remediated properly.

In the meantime, keep reading, keep listening and watch your ass. Your OWN ass, mind.
