The LiveJournal administration
made an attempt to answer at least some of the questions of Russian-speaking users about the changes that would follow as a result of the
Six Apart and
SUP deal.
In a special post it is said, for example, that the user's location and, accordingly, his determination as a SUP-LJ user will be based on the encoding. Thus, all the magazines kept in Cyrillic fall under the responsibility of the Russian company. Transferring these logs to other servers is not supposed: their owners will simply use a slightly modified interface, and in the event of any inconvenience, you can easily “switch” to the usual support of Six Apart.
Passwords and all other information will not be shared with third parties, including the Russian authorities, representatives of LiveJournal assure, once again recalling the existence of the
Privacy Policy . Money transfers for the use of paid accounts will take SUP: it is expected that the user’s ability to pay for the service will soon not be limited to WebMoney transfers.

Six Apart does not expect that with the advent of a new partner, the rules for using the service will be revised. In any case, it will not be done now. Also in the coming months, one can hardly expect specialized services for Russian-speaking users: they will appear after the settlement of all administrative and technical issues between partners.
Meanwhile, today for the first time in the history of LiveJournal a
post in Russian appeared in the official news feed. From it, in particular, you can learn about the existence of
"SUP-community .
