𝐏𝐘𝐑𝐑𝐇𝐈𝐂 𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘,

It’s 4:20AM. I’ve just scrolled by the fifth post claiming PH’s ToS lets them own your content in as many minutes, screaming that we need to run for the hills if PH puts forward the cash needed to keep Tumblr from (worst case scenario) shutting down.

I’ve debunked it before and I’ll do it as many times as it takes: The part of the ToS people are talking about/scared of is one that almost every website in the world that allows user-submitted content has to include for legal protection. Otherwise, someone could sue them for:

Making different sized versions of the original content, for example to use as thumbnails or to fit the width of the website format (such as Tumblr’s dashboard)

Featuring the content anywhere on the site (also the dashboard, otherwise your posts would only ever be on your actual blog pages)

Allowing people to reblog (or similar sharing systems) the content

Taking pictures of their own website in which the content may be visible

Hosting the content (data) on their server at all

The wording varies from website to website, but they all have some version. In layman’s terms, it’s a clause that translates to: “By uploading, you allow us to use your content in ways that our website needs or may need to function as intended.”

And now, back to your regularly scheduled scrolling.

People who distrust boys by default are prejudiced, and the responsibility is on them to sort that out, not on every single boy they meet.
