So first there was a panic about how FOSTA/SESTA was going to get fanworks banned (here's the AO3 write up on the subject), and now I see people talking about how Microsoft's new TOS could mean the same thing, and I'm just... so tired right now.

I just looked into alternative email sites to outlook on a whim and I found that pretty much all of them had the same TOS.  Like if you really think you're going to get terminated because of AO3's review messages or because you used "fuck" in an email, I'm not sure there are really any other options.

As far as I can tell, it's just typical corporate base covering, but the paranoia I've seen on tumblr has been pretty incredible.

Have a lot of people here been hearing this stuff?  Are you worried and/or trying to do anything about it?

I haven't heard anything about this, but tumblr has a tendency to get very loud and people following something said without checking if it is true.

Yep, this is one of the biggest issues with Tumblr as a whole, which is most end up believing everything they read without checking the sources or doing their own research to see whether what they're reading is true or not, thus creating a mass panic when there is no need for one or blowing things completely out of proportion to the point where information is skewed beyond belief.

That's definitely true!

Yes, very true :)
