Tumblr tried to sneak in data collection under the radar. After a few taps, you can get a list of who they're sharing data with.

The list takes 19 screenshots to see all the names on my phone.

NINETEEN.

Also worth mentioning a very nice (no) dark pattern. The last name in the list is always behind the gradient block, which means you can never untick it.

That's Oath, the new owners.

@skiant You technically can, but only on a desktop computer.

And considering how much Internet use skews towards phones these days... 🙃
