Warriors for Innocence: Not so Innocent?
So the blog-world, specifically the LiveJournal world, is abuzz with talk of a new cyber group, Warriors for Innocence (I'm not linking to them because their site allegedly uses spyware). They target profiles that "promote pedophilia" and badger LiveJournal isn't deleting them, but apparently many profiles have been deleted improperly--abuse survivor groups, for example.
Now Live Journal has apologized for the debacle.
Here's a good run-down (hat tip to Sister Coyote)

Warriors for Innocence are Dominionist with potential ties to Joel's Army-type group(s).
There's a pretty good round-up of information here.
You're quite welcome. I like it when I can actually be helpful instead of just a smart-ass.
I know that a lot of people are talking about not giving money to LJ/6A anymore, because of the whole controversy, so I was wondering-- are there any ways we could give that money to support the AS IF! cause? I'd like to link it.
Here's a link once or twice removed from the one you offer: email exchange.
Very interesting. As a writer of teen fiction, the idea of this kind of purge, a campaign of vigilantism against fiction involving "underage" sex is terrifying. What about Aidan Chambers' This is All: the Pillowbook of Cordelia Kenn? Does just writing the truth (fictionally) make a person suspect? Does it make art suspect?
