FYI new TOU on TB

[IFinTN]

I went ahead and got an account and content deletion on TB. If you go to the Bump HQ page you'll see the new TOU where TB claims they can do anything they want with your content...pictures, ultrasounds, you name it.

This is not an uncommon term for most websites but I find what appears to be a sudden change with no warning to be disturbing. I had not really looked at the old TOU with respect to what is shared so it may really be no different after all....at any rate be careful what you share.

Btw, I checked the proboards license to your content. It is significantly more narrow than what TB is claiming. However, it also has some vague language. So, again, be careful what you share.

I saw the new TOU yesterday. Also requested account and content deletion.

One of the girls on parenting after IF posted this yesterday. I requested a deletion on tb yesterday. I told them to make it as tho i have never existed.

I already planned on not sharing pictures on this site. For no reason other than i got the creeps when tb started to administer change. You are right tho: i don't know the ins and outs of the previous tou there so who knows how much change there really was...but the manner of the change is disturbing. It was sneaky.

I won't be heading back to tb until Friday to check on my deletion status. I want to make sure they have plenty of time to complete the task bc of how they've been saying it takes a full 48 hrs to delete and the clock restarts if you login during that time.

Could someone please post a link to those TOU? Didn't see them in the usual places, which probably means I haven't been looking at the right thing.

I really hate to delete my history there. I feel like old posts have been so educational for me, and I hate that someone else won't get that information.

Check out the thread on Parenting on TB. For here, just scroll down and hit "Terms of Service."

For real?  I don't know the ins and outs of why the individual(s) would put porn in a thread but come on already.  We're all [supposedly] adults here.

Yeah, it's pretty stupid. A PSA that folks can't even open safely at work. I don't get it, counterproductive.
