The biggest difference I see is the tie-in to their Privacy Notice which outlines all of their disclosures for GDPR. Not including that in their original terms was a mistake.

The revised paragraph basically increases the number of details about data usage by a couple of pages, where the original version could have opened the floodgates on data privacy lawsuits because it was unintentionally vague.

Covering new privacy laws (and perception of data "sale") was important but doesn't encompass everything about the changes. For example, they still do share data. It's limited in scope, but it can still be shared. This is not immediately clear in the original or revised wording.
