SUP does the right thing

[unixronin]

You may or not be aware of the recent flap over the abolition of the Basic account type, followed by the discovery over the weekend that LiveJournal has been censoring certain 'interests' on the public Popular Interests page.  The censored interests included bisexuality, girls, boys, depression, pain, and fanfic, among others.

Several protests, such as beckyzoole's 24-hour Content Strike, have been ongoing.  For my part, I — among numerous other people — filed feedback, pointing out that I've been in constant pain for the past nine years and am deeply offended that LiveJournal thinks the public should be protected from knowing that I periodically talk about it.

Early this afternoon, all the censored interests were restored.  I got a personal reply via email, with an apology.

That's better than Six Apart ever did.  I think SUP is learning from their mistakes faster and better than Six Apart did.  This bodes well.
