I wonder if this is the result of the trouble ticket system becoming burdensome -- too much headcount to deal with. One would think it sensible to have LJ legally protected as a common carrier, with those who post deemed the only responsible parties for any legal problems with their material. But apparently this is not now the case; if I call up children and whisper dirty stories to them over the phone, it doesn't occur to anyone to ask the government to force the telephone company to install smut filters, and that should be true here as well.
I agree it's a good idea to protest this to make it clear that the adult communities here should not be harassed by random busybodies (which reminds me of the Simpson's episode where Ned Flanders reviews videotapes of TV shows for "bad" content and his kids suggest his time might be better spent looking for a new mommy.)
