Does anyone understand what’s going on with piligrim_67? It used to be a perfectly normal blog. And now both http://piligrim-67.livejournal.com/ and his second blog, http://nazarov1901.livejournal.com/, have been frozen. The whole story is absurd: he posted a link to a video about fighting pedophilia, and they froze his account for promoting pedophilia. By the way, that same video was sent to me too, with a request to repost it. I just didn’t have time either to watch it or to put it up. Okay, fine, maybe the video was bad — then they should have deleted it and issued a warning. But instead, Piligrim was simply banned from LiveJournal forever. Nonsense. And stupidity. From the standpoint of LiveJournal’s development, his blog was quite valuable. We all remember the major stir he caused over United Russia members (the ruling political party) supposedly putting out forest fires on Twitter. In any case, he didn’t do anything that would justify freezing his account. As olegmakarenko.ru rightly writes, all this looks like testing a mechanism for deleting any blogs. Here are Piligrim’s own explanations, after he moved to Blogspot.
