Apparently, Six Apart has sold the entire LiveJournal service to Russian company SUP.

It seems several people with SUP have connections with the Russian government, and livejournal.ru (the Russian counterpart of livejournal.com) has had some serious privacy issues in regards to its users.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this, but I am sure that I'm not too comfortable with it right this moment.

I've never understood the whole social-networking thing.  Why would you want to publish private information about yourself on the internet?  Corporations, governments, and criminal entities (not much difference between them if you ask me) have had to work at getting that kind of thing the hard way.  Well now comes Livejournal, myspace, facebook... so you can happily do their work for them?  I understand there's some strange human desire to self-promote and "be popular", but is it really worth it?
