LJ caved in to threats
WfI had been pressuring LJ for some time to remove any journal that did not reach their ideals for decency. WfI threatened LJ with legal action. " I realize it is a huge burden to police such a large internet society, but when someone like WFI reports this type of abuse, it should not require weeks of arguments and emails to law enforcement agencies to get the sites deleted."

When that did not produce the desired effects, WfI hit yet again, this time with threats to 6 Apart's advertisers.
'I have contacted these advertisers and informed them of where their ads are placed. I have had nothing but shock and thanks for my efforts.'

While the basic premise to make people safer is laudable, WfI uses language in its fight that can be described as inflammatory at best. They seem to believe that if someone expresses an interest in molestation, they must be searching out their next victim.
"Molestation, Child Sex, Child Porn....These are just a few of the “interests” that LiveJournal.com users name in their journals and profiles. Some are much worse and I won’t even print them here."
