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 am not too concerned over it honestly. As of now it's not going to affect fanworks. However, I'm going to update my fic commission page to note that I won't write anything NC-17. Hadn't heard anything about emails.

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.

None of this kerfuffle ever comes to anything. We're still here on LJ, after all. I'm not worried.
