Dear Digital Ocean,

Thank you for your transparency in this change. I received an email notifying me of it. The policy itself is in a public repository - allowing me to see exactly what changed. (Though to be honest, a link to the diff would be a nice-to-have next time.)

I appreciate your forthrightness. After evaluating the changes further, I will be making my decision about whether to continue making use of your services - as I'm sure you would expect.

Sincerely,

A Customer

Agree or disagree with the change, they were very up front with their customers that it happened.

Edit: forgt sme lttrs. Also, too many words so I some.

Are they? I've received e-mail containing just "we've changed privacy policy. Full text here". And they are required to do that, so it's not their choice. So I tried to find diff or short blog post about it. I coudn't. I've found this tread and HN user posted link to DO's github repository (https://github.com/digitalocean/tos/commit/782ce59ec49a75fe2...)

Is it really transparent? Is it really worth the praise?
