Guys, I just want to take a moment to appreciate all the legwork Charlie has put in. Literally. His calves are beautiful. That's all.

Ok if anyone is like me. (A super paranoid person) then you may be having a panic attack like I did when the new terms of services popped up.

BUT from what I have been reading from the TOS and private privacy stuff on Ao3 it seems fine, so don't panic and read through the stuff if your panicking.

Here are some screen shots of it and if you read through them or go to the site yourself and read it, it seems that they are collecting the minimum amount of data about people. So really only the shit you put on there. Email, comments, kudos, etc. So they same stuff the cookies have been collecting from the beginning from what it seems.

(Click pictures to see all of it)

But hey that what I'm getting from it. I don't really understand this shit so it's up to you if you want to accept it or not.

Just remember to take a moment, breath and think before having a break down.

(Edit: Basically, the stuff you agreed to when you made an account on the site from what I have been seeing)

(And if someone who understands this more then I do or if i got something wrong, please leave a note)

Sign, "A Woman Living Here Has Registered to Vote", 1919

This sign was designed to be placed in the window of a home so that all who passed would know that the woman within had exercised her right under the 19th amendment and registered to vote. It also served as a reminder to other women to do the same.

if you're worried about the new ToS for AO3, please remember that you are primed to distrust because of the way politics are intertwining with the internet right now. remember to look into definitions yourself, fact check, and look through the logic lense before jumping to conclusions.

AFAIK right now, the update clarifies terms that have already existed. it's not changing as much as it is clarity-rewriting. i'm still looking through the legalese (law student, i'm learning as I go) and I will be checking in again later, but don't despair.

however, don't get lax. download fics, connect with the authors, build out your communities. comment and bookmark and save, and please don't stop writing.

For anyone worried about the two images above, they are completely separate things.

AO3 always warned users to take care when sharing personal, identifying information on their site. It's warning the user not to overshare, not a warning that AO3 will share those things.

The box you are checking in "agreement" is more or less that if AO3 is subpoenaed for your email and ip address, they will have to comply.

I get it, I read the fine print just to be sure I wasn't signing my life away... but as someone who uses a private browser, I literally have to check the box every time I visit AO3, and I promise you the warning written in that first image has been on AO3 forever. It's them telling us to look out for ourselves when online.

The incoming US administration is scary as fuck, and I totally support people being extra cautious online. I'm sure if they can find a way to get at people, they will (those assholes), but AO3 is reminding us to play it safe online.

Keep taking care of yourselves, and each other! Together, somehow, we'll find a way through.

Oi read this!

You guys clocked the warning by AO3 to reduce interlinks of accounts?

Especially for queer users in the US right now?

(written below for people who struggle to read text in images).

"Be mindful when sharing personal information, including but not limited your name, email, age, location, personal relationships, gender or sexual identity, racial, or ethnic background religious, or political views and or account usernames on other sites"

Then the normal "By checking this box you consent to the processing of your personal data in the the United States"
