Guerilla action

Don't like 6Apart's new censorship system?  Think it's another ill-conceived attempt by 6Apart to jump the shark?

Flag it as offensive.  (I did.)  It's not our jobs to be the surrogate parents of every teenager with a LiveJournal account.

Hey, 6Apart?¹  Get a life and a clue.

The problem with this is the same with any other "flag adult content" system.

If everyone doesn't use it, it is useless. Since most people won't use it, the majority of the adult content WILL show up everywhere. Therefore, at some point, it will become compulsory if it is to be at all useful.

Next, they'll argue that YOU become liable if you DON'T flag something that offends the little rug rats in Utah.

"Flag things safe for the rug rats" is slightly better, but then limits almost-adults to the ultra-sanitized playground for the 8 year olds.
