My impression as far as tumblr goes is that it's died down because of anti-zoo crusades on that site, nothing to do with new laws. A few times recently anti folks have ganged up on prominent zoo users who got into debates with them, reported the zoo blog to tumblr's staff, and had it deleted. But if you keep your head down it's fine. I just communicate with other zoos on there, make my own posts, and in general don't interact with antis. The folks who are still active there usually just don't post in public tags, so their posts aren't found by antis. I've had an anonymous zoo tumblr for three years now and I'm fine, no one has been able to gather any significant information on me from my blog. So as long as you use common sense and don't reveal any personal information, it's safe. Doesn't hurt to use IP protection like Tor as well. The worst that'll happen is your blog might get deleted by site admins if it's reported by other users, so just back up your posts if you don't want to lose them. Tor also comes in handy with tumblr because tumblr bans are IP bans, so if you get reported and deleted without a false IP, you can't ever make another blog on the site.
