Well thanks for the ride Tumblr. Guess that’s the end, now. One thing springs to mind though… using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
By all means shut down blogs and delete posts that have underage or otherwise illegal content. But don’t stop all naked/erotic/porn images/gifs as your means of policing! A dumber idea I have never heard……
What is the worst about the whole thing? Far right, nazi, racist, sexist and hate content will remain on Tumblr. So, we ban nipples from view but retain hate content in many forms? Mental. You have the nsfw settings and explicit content warnings already! Challenge the bloggers to police what is posted themselves by letting them report paedo or other illegal content when it is found and then, Tumblr, you review and then DELETE IT and inform the authorities, just as you are supposed to. Job done. Easy. And then many 1000’s of bloggers can continue doing their thing
But that is too fair and sensible, isn’t it? Instead you are shutting down probably 1/3rd of Tumblr never to be seen again. Well, good luck, because I am offski.
All the best one and all, it’s been a blast.
