This is just LJ reaping what it sowed. I heard from other people who've been here longer than me that this isn't the first time it's happened; at one point they attempted to purge skinheads and fascists to comply with German and French laws.
The problem is that by doing so LJ lost any semblance of a "common carrier" and opened themselves up to all sorts of liability, in a country where litigation has become something of a national sport. So they got called out for not enforcing their own TOS, attempted to correct it, botched it badly, attempted to correct it, etc. etc.

Expect more debacles like this in the future.
