Long-time blogging platform LiveJournal said today that it has been subject to "repeated, large-scale DDoS attacks" for the past two weeks. The company says that the attacks have targeted a number of different users' journals, some of whom are political in nature. While a small number of users may be targeted, all users lose their ability to publish and read on the platform when the site is taken down. "LiveJournal believes strongly in the ideal of freedom of expression," the company said, "and we're working very hard to ensure that users around the world have a place where their voices can be heard."
