This is great, though there are loads of spurious differences caused by what looks like encoding problems. e.g. the blogspot privacy policy https://www.docracy.com/0rl3vthb6b7/blogspot-com-privacy-pol... has the classic "WTF UTF?" â€ symbols in there. Previously they were long dashes or quote marks.

[I work at Docracy] C'mon, I wouldn't say "loads"! We are still working on a few lingering encoding problems, and we usually filter them out when we spot them. Other spurious changes are from the sites themselves. For example, every couple of days the IRS changes the date format in their privacy policy for some mysterious reason: https://www.docracy.com/doc/diff?originalId=1frr1ml4lt&r...

heh, weasel words are weasely. sorry. Skype had a lot of changes due to quote marks changing too. don't take it the wrong way though, diffs are tricky i guess. (mobile typing, forgive brevity)
