@ all my followers who are currently under 16 and live in the EU or EEA (European economic area):
Tumblr will probably delete your blog or terminate it on 25th May 2018. They’re updating to terms and conditions and New European Privacy and the new minimum age to use tumblr will be 16.
Look, I have no idea if the “will delete your blog” part is true or not. I just would hate to wake up and find that had happened? So giving a reblog despite my uncertainty. Kiddos, if you’re in the EU, heads up.
Yeah, they’re remarkably unclear about whether they’ll *delete* your blog, but “locked out of your account until the next January 1st after they deem you of age” is the most *optimistic* interpretation I can come up with for what they said in that link. (”No exceptions” implies no grandfathering.)
#the EU is being such a pain in the ass lately #the newsletters my free-stuff email is on are all panicking and begging me to reassure them I’m still interested #I’m not even *in* the EU but *they* don’t know that for sure and can’t take the risk #(I hope I didn’t overlook any begging instances or I’m gonna end up deprived of useful emails) #The Great Tumblr Apocalypse #PSA
