Yeah honestly, I know that Russia isn't great in a lot of ways, but it makes me uncomfortable when they get treated as such a bogeyman for doing exactly the same thing as any other website would do. I said it in a comment above, but for all the championing of Americans's great freedom of speech, LJ was under American leadership when the whole 'strike-gate' thing happened, and that saw a lot of fandom LJ's being deleted without warning (I think it was because of Harry Potter N-17 content?) All websites have standard agreements about deleting you if you abuse their terms of agreement etc
