Pusheen, 2024-07-15Thank you so much! The sites that I thought were pretty gold (I do read the tos, but legal speech is a bit hard to translate :P) Thank you so much for making this now I know exactly what I'm getting into. Many of the reading and writing platforms TOS's seemed concerning-- i wouldn't join as I didn't like what I did understand-- and after using this extension downright scary! You saved my bacon.
