Re-rewrite the Terms of Service
Ik but its not appropriate for little kids!So it should be in this one, right? It's pretty important.So?It's in both the current and former Termswhy is that in there i mean yeah you do have to inform but whatDon't share (REDACTED) content.Maybe remove that bit from your post even though its on the terms of service.
Little kids don't need to know about that and they might see your post and ask google what it is.
Nobody wants them to know what that means, and you should too.
Safety is better than some terms of service, even though its important not to share innapropriate projects.
