Understandable if you are a dissident that's working against Russian interests. Not understandable otherwise, as everything you post online is available for anyone to do with as they choose anyhow.
In some ways freedom of speech can be used as a tool of surveillance. You say that people can say anything they want, and then you let them tell you who you should be watching via your sophisticated surveillance apparatus.
What it boils down to is that we don't censor things, well the reason we don't censor things is because our government does not feel the need to censor things to continue to function. That's because we have methods of dealing with people saying things that we don't want to become common opinion, i.e. we have very sophisticated propaganda tools to sway public opinion that until now were working pretty well. So we don't have to censor. Regimes where they don't have those type of tools have to censor, otherwise they lose power and legitimacy and things become chaotic. You can't control people.
To a Western secularist who basically has a covenant with the State called the Constitution, so it's a religious sort of deal. When the reason is not religious as to why states do this, they don't do it because they are bad or evil people. They do it because they feel that they have no choice and because that's how things in their country with their people.
For the Western States which have destabilized and destroyed many States in the Middle East using this sort of rhetoric, of saving them from a government oppressing its people, they don't have a leg to stand upon. They are not good because they are saving people from an evil dictator that does not follow their covenant. They are in fact at times evil and sociopathic in destroying and destabilizing those states that can not run properly without a dictator.
I don't know what you had edited it to, but the current title is both true to the title on MeFi and doesn't really tell the gist of the story, which is "LiveJournal servers now located in Russia; purge of dissident accounts alleged" or something like that.
I'm guessing you're not an American or western European, so you should know that very few people here are going to react warmly to comments calling gay people "degenerate", or lumping them in with pornographers.
If you want to send a message to the moderators, and I'm not saying this is a particularly useful one to send, mail hn@ycombintor.com. There are just a few moderators, and they don't see every bad post.
Direct appeals to the moderators just crud up the threads. The right response to posts you find inappropriate for the site is to flag them.
