Attempt to gag Aussie blogger
by pr • Friday October 27, 2006 at 05:16 PM
Well it was only a matter of time before the same ' Manchurian global' chickens that helped build the Golden Shield came home to roost
And on top of that the last empires, military-entertainment complex just declared war in cyberspace as well!
The timing to gag bloggers in the free world is a sign of just how desperate the last empire truly is. To think that we would just forget that millions died in WW2 so that we could express our opinions freely!
How pathetic of them. Here is whats happened so far...
Dear LiveJournal user pro2,
It has recently come to our attention that your journal entry, located
at http://pro2.livejournal.com/1634340.html, contains incitement to
cause violence on another individual. This is a violation of the Terms of
Service (http://www.livejournal.com/legal/tos.bml), to which you agreed
when you created your account.
As such, we must require that you delete the entry as soon as possible,
but no later than Saturday, October 27th 2006 at 12:01AM EDT. Failure
to do so by this deadline will result in further action being taken
against your account.
Regards,

Sorry but I just don't see it.
Could you please specify where the incitement is exactly?
If you take the comment heading the wrong way I suppose that could mean I think Chris needs killing but thats not what I meant. I mean the organization he works for obviously needs kidnapping, torturing and yes, killing to maintain its funding. I can't help the fact that any language contains ambiguity but if you be a little more specific then I can edit the entry in a spirit of good faith and diplomatic compromise.
Also as confronting yr accuser is a well known and sound principle of natural justice and good faith dealings in any free democracy I would like to know who complained about this obvious misunderstanding. By dealing with them directly I might then help free up yr staff for more important and substantive breachs.
Yrs cordially

I've received a reciept number for that response and will report further developments here when they pry my cold stiff fingers from the touchpad. Anyone aware of a blogging service that does not harrass it's members with vexatious and frivolous complaints - similar to that received by the ABC - then I would appreciate yr leads. TIA.
DAY LATER - checked email and should add that the receipt no I got was machine generated. I still have no response to my appeal for natural justice above and this looks pretty machine generated as well...
Dear LiveJournal user pro2,
On October 24th, 2006, we sent you an e-mail indicating that your
journal entry, located at http://pro2.livejournal.com/1634340.html, violated
the Terms of Service as it contained incitement to cause violence to
another individual. As you have failed to remove the incitement by the
deadline specified, we have been forced to suspend your account.
If you would like to have your account unsuspended, please reply back
to this e-mail with a date and time, including timezone, preferably 24
hours in advance when you will be available to remove the offending
content. Your journal will be unsuspended for 24 hours so that you may do
so.

Now I've offered to scratch the whole post ( and will move it here asap ) so that is the state of play. I've also asked them if they got my first email. This process stinks if all the Saudies, Chinese or CIA have to do is complain anonymously to remove a blogger. Live journal you are not looking good at this point - please restore my faith in human nature, inalienable human and civil rights and natural justice by providing a little basic, bedrock, elementary due process post-dark ages.
TIA - pr
