Well, LJ news has updated. (Finally.)
At the last possible second for "see you next week!" that doesn't make people work overtime.
It's pretty much what I expected. LJ made no changes yet, promised to make very few changes "in the next update", and all of a sudden the same people who hours ago were still comparing the recent code change to rape and LJ to a physically abusive partner, who as recently as yesterday were discussing calling the ACLU (see, it's stuff like this that makes me say some people were overreacting just a little bit. Is LJ linking to Facebook really a civil liberties issue?), who for the past week have been passing around DW invite codes like candy (VOX works for everybody, apparently)...
Yeah, these people are all going "YAY! YOU ARE AWESOME! THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!" all over the comments.

Perhaps there are people whose sense of basic dignity and priority is such that, for their experiences, this sort of violation of trust and privacy really is similar to the subjective experience of being raped.
...or perhaps they're just Internet frothing. :/
