Atticus' Legacy Review of Tumblr closing account process after someone dies = 6/10 stars
Tumblr gets okay marks for Atticus' Legacy Review of their closing account process after someone dies, as it's a pretty easy process whether you have login information or not. Unfortunately, they don't have their policy written clearly in their Terms of Service and don't have any web pages devoted to the subject. They also don't have any legacy functions. Hopefully, after receiving this less than perfect mark they'll write one for their clients.
