it's been a few days now that I get an lj cut on my friends page (for a lot of my friend's posts) that says: "You are about to view content that may not be appropriate for minors".
In order to view that friend's post I have to go through some page that makes me push this "yes, i am an adult button" before I am finally fwd to the post itself!!!
obnoxious.

There's a setting on your OWN journal you have to change (it's stupid), plus you maybe don't have your birthdate in your journal? (you can set it and then not have it show).

Well, but what triggers it? One post I had on my friends page labelled that way was for a recipe. In another, more chilling case, it was for a post on the Golden Compass brouhaha. So there's a censor-bot loose on LJ now? I never saw this You are about to view content that may not be appropriate for minors) label until this week. It's a very disconcerting sign of further erosion of free expression, imho.

If your whole journal gets listed that way ("Mature content"), then it gets triggered for every picture. Someone (without their birthday on their page) got it triggered for a pic of animals on my page.

LJ has some kind of announcement on it somewhere, it was RIGHT before LJ got sold to the Russian company SUP:
