I’m not sure it applies to us.

“This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) details the use and collection of your information by the websites (the “Sites”) operated and owned by G/O Media, Inc. (“G/O”, “us” or “we”) and governs your access to the content and services hosted on our platform (the “Services”). These Sites include The A.V. Club, Clickhole, Deadspin, Gizmodo, The Inventory, Jalopnik, Jezebel, Kotaku, Lifehacker, The Onion, The Root and The Takeout. ”  

Emphasis added. Note that it does not include Oppositelock as a “Site” and neither Oppositelock nor Kinja are called out as “services” hosted on their platform.

Lets just hope that’s an oversight by the lawyers who wrote this rather than a foreshadowing in which the community sites cease to exist....

Anybody have the old ToS? Whether or not we are mentioned explicitly there should give an idea of impending doom.

Looks like the old ToS simply grouped everything under “Kinja”.
