LJ sells out to the Russians
This what one group had to say about it:

"The Russian election for the Duma concluded on December 2. During this process, Golos was instrumental in identifying voting irregularities that skewed the vote in favor of United Russia, the pro-Kremlin party. Golos is an independent organization that monitors elections and receives funding from the United States and the European Union.

Golos and its supporters have been maintaining a blog page at LiveJournal. It contained plenty of damning evidence showing that the Kremlin had manipulated the election.

Then, after the election concluded, a Moscow-based company acquired LiveJournal. Considering that several of the names behind SUP are KGB-backed personalities, wanna bet this goes on to more censorship?"
