this could not be timed worse for Tumblr which is in huge hot water with its userbase already for its CEO breaking his sabbatical to ban a prominent trans user for allegedly threatening him (in a cartoonish manner), and then spending a week personally justifying it increasingly wildly across several platforms. the rumors had already been swirling that this would occur, but this just cements that they were correct

    Hard disagree.

    • Companies don’t give you a good chance to prevent them from eroding your control on the data further.
    • Even if they technically disown the data, they’re doing even worse. They are de-facto doing anything they want without taking responsibility
    • Open source / CC licenses don’t apply to whatever user data people are talking about here
