Remember how a little while back, Livejournal enabled the crossposting of comments to facebook and twitter without the journal entry poster's consent? and how the hew and cry from their customer base (which would be us) caused them to change it so that users could only cross-post comments on public entries?
Well, Livejournal has gone back on its word. Now anyone who has opted into Cyrillic services can cross-post comments on anyone's (even someone who has not opted in) f-locked entries. The solution Livejournal proposed before was not satisfying, but acceptable. This smacks of deceit and manipulation on the part of the Livejournal business administration. If you disagree with this move on the part of the administration (which also smacks of ethnic prejudice) please comment on the above linked post.
Thought I'd warn you all, this mess has unfortunately not gone away.
