On the new Livejournal Crossposting Crap

[misora]

Which is outlined here:


I would appreciate it if you do NOT, as a person commenting on my journal, cross-post to Facebook or Twitter. I prefer to keep my separate online communication forums separate.

This goes for both public posts and, obviously, private friends-locked posts.

If I catch anyone doing this in my comments, I may be forced to purge this journal completely. No one wants that.

Thank you!

Apparently it reveals the subject of the f-locked entry to the public but doesn't permit people to read the entry, meaning any salacious entry titles will hint to the content anyway. Even if you f-locked your journal, how do you determine that people who friend you at this point aren't merely attempting gain the ability to reveal the content of your entries? This can be used too easily in a malicious manner.

But even before the introduction of the cross-posting function, there exists people who friend others merely to expose their friends-locked entries by other means; screen-capping, or direct thread feeds.

I guess I'm not too affected because I never title my entries. In any case, my friend filters still apply and personal entries aren't revealed to suspicious LJ acquaintances.

...stupid social networking era.

I think my point was that the individual as an LJ user has at this time zero recourse to limit access to their content. Facebook's user base is astronomically higher than LJ, the ability to distribute information with or without malicious intent is now absurdly easy. This is terrible news for those who prefer their annonymity for whatever reason.
