I'm possibly rocking the boat here but if I wanted to post any comments to Facebook or Twitter it would be almost as easy to copy and paste them as to click that new button.
Let's face it if people are so inclined then the entire contents of locked posts can be done that way.

And whilst most of the requests have been polite I'm really not liking some of the harshly worded requests to refrain from using the new features here.

If you feel that you can't trust me just unfriend me.

I trust you, I trust pretty much everyone on my flist, and I've not posted a request for folk not to use the clicky buttons. Having said that, the number of people (generally younger folk) who can't even grasp that this could be a problem is quite scary - I know gay folk, trans folk, pagan folk, poly folk, many of whom don't want random comments to "out" them on FB where they may have family members or employers friended. I can see why some folk are running scared, when it would be so easy for LJ to just provide an opt-out or "disable" option.
