New tumblr policy1/17/2024 Corresponding with that sale of Yahoo, Tumblr has been more actively policing its content, though heretofore it had been hate speech and revenge porn in the line of fire. Tumblr says it simply wants “a better Tumblr.”īut others have pointed out Verizon’s acquisition of Tumblr owner Yahoo, completed two years ago, and the fact that a sterilized version of Tumblr will have a much easier go at finding advertisers. Less than three weeks later, Tumblr announced its new adult content policy, though the platform claims the recent discovery of child porn shouldn’t be conflated with its new “no adult content” policy. A routine audit discovered content on our platform that had not yet been included in the industry database.” The platform issued a statement detailing how that happened: “ Every image uploaded to Tumblr is scanned against an industry database of known child sexual abuse material, and images that are detected never reach the platform. 16, Tumblr was removed from Apple’s app store due to child pornography found on its pages. But what led Tumblr to adopt its new adult content policy in the first place? At one point the below still from the show Sesame Street was pegged as explicit. The platform’s flagging technology was inadvertently pegging as “adult” all sorts of laughably inexplicit posts and images. I’ve also been recommending Tristan Taormino DVDs and jessica drake’s Guide to Wicked Sex for people who want to learn more (and watch) different kinds of sex.The classification of certain posts and pages as explicit began shortly after Tumblr’s big announcement, and as could be expected, there were kinks in the process.

For now, here are some possible substitutes for those who are over 18: So, where can women like me go from here? There is hope that some smart, enterprising tech folks will come up with a similar, maybe even better platform in the near future. It’s an end of an era, but it’s also a clarion call to those who value freedom of speech and expression to speak up and fight for that right. Tumblr was revolutionary for so many women like me and others who felt disconnected to mainstream porn and found self discovery, affirmation, and connection within its platform. Without this private outlet, I really don’t know when–or if–I would have realized the dormant sexual woman living inside me that was screaming to come out. In fact, the more I looked at others’ sexual expression, the more confident and validated I felt in my own. I was able to discreetly and safely view other people’s sexual tastes and interests, take what I liked from it, fold it into my own pastiche of sexual pleasure, and disregard the rest.
