You can get rid of the irrelevant white-space changes by adding ?w=1 to the URL: https://github.com/tosdr/tosback2/commit/957775e52dad75012db665f10aa628a6915a241b?w=1#diff-2 https://github.com/tosdr/tosback2/commit/957775e52dad75012db...

Is there a tl;dr of the shocking changes we should all be complaining about?
- saurik 13y ago
  I don't know why this was a link to tosdr rather than Tumblr's own diffs. I am not even certain whether to trust it as the content doesn't seem to be the same as Tumblr's. (That, or maybe I am myself simply confused.) Regardless, here was a "shocking change". https://github.com/tumblr/policy/compare/2cfe3c8668...adfff367b5#diff-ef5d83620cbf52ab9f327cc48b35975fR46 https://github.com/tumblr/policy/compare/2cfe3c8668...adfff3...

      But not in the one linked by this submission to tosdr.

  Upvoted, not be cause of the tl;dr request, but for the "shocking changes we should all be complaining about". It made me laugh and then think about the peculiar nature of this community.

It's hard to tell which of these changes are minor legal optimizations, and which are actually suggestive of a different relationship between Tumblr and its users. In the top paragraph, for instance, "personal" is struck from the phrase: "takes the private nature of your personal information very seriously." Are they taking _more_ of my information seriously or are they subtly suggesting that my information is no longer "personal"? It'd be nice to see a finer-grained diff.

If you're younger than 13, don't use Tumblr. -Ask your parents for an Xbox or try books. +Ask your parents for a Playstation 4, or try books. Playstation 4 confirmed next-gen console winner by Yahoo. Is that good or bad?

  Wow, that was amazing to look at! Much easier than a github diff of HTML.

The first line of diff tells me how serious they took grammar into account... From Tumblr, Inc. ("Tumblr", "we", "us", or "our") to Tumblr, Inc. ("Tumblr," "we," "us," or "our")
