Tumblr will permanently ban adult content from its platform on December 17th in a move that will eradicate porn-related communities on the platform and fundamentally alter how the service is used. The ban includes explicit sexual content and nudity with a few exceptions, the company tells The Verge. The new policy?s announcement comes just days after Tumblr was removed from Apple?s iOS App Store over a child pornography incident, but it extends far beyond that matter alone. ?Adult content will no longer be allowed here,? the company flatly states in a blog post set to be published on Monday.
Banned content includes photos, videos, and GIFs of human genitalia, female-presenting nipples, and any media involving sex acts, including illustrations. The exceptions include nude classical statues and political protests that feature nudity. The new guidelines exclude text, so erotica remains permitted. Illustrations and art that feature nudity are still okay ? so long as sex acts aren?t depicted ? and so are breastfeeding and after-birth photos.

:omgwatshappening:
QuoteReal talk, though, because it needs to be said: as much as we all joke that porn was the only good thing this place had left, the reality is that it being the only place where one could regularly engage with and promote sexual content being gone is really not understanding at all what makes this place special. I mean we all joke about ?horny on main? and all that, but the reality is that for a lot of the LGTBQ+ community, particularly younger members still discovering themselves and members in extremely homophobic environments where most media sites were banned (but Tumblr wasn?t even considered important enough to be), this was a bastion of information and self-expression. For a lot of artists too, this was a great place to come and post NSFW work and get traction that became Patreon pages that became honest jobs.
The problem with ?family friendly? social media is that more often than not, the ones hit the most by the whole family friendly nonsense are marginalized groups that have no vehicles to express themselves. Stuff like YouTube consistently bans or flags simple content featuring something as innocuous as two men kissing as ?adult? content and makes it hard for LGBTQ+ content creators to compete with their non-queer peers for a lot of those reasons.
The ultimate problem isn?t even that banning of NSFW content, it?s the general mess surrounding it and unintended consequences to these groups. For MONTHS Tumblr has had a huge problem with porn spam bots and outright child pornography, and for MONTHS the majority of the userbase has been in general consensus that both of these things needed to stop. Tumblr did NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. When Apple finally removed their app from the store, SPECIFICALLY because of the child pornography, Tumblr decided to do what any rich corporation owning a social media site with zero understanding of what makes it popular would do, and decided that the best course of action was to eat itself like an Ouroboros. Rather than admit that they have done an absolutely shit job at keeping pedophiles off this website and rather than hiring the necessary staff to carefully moderate content, they decided to loose a poorly programmed bot that literally deleted perfectly SFW blogs with thousands of followers, and rather than properly handling moderation, they decided that it was best to simply go the lazy route and block anything even remotely NSFW.
They run this site in the worst way possible, and I don?t understand how @support or @staff or their completely oblivious ?CEO? plans to keep this sinking ship alive.

This year alone they started making adult tags untraceable. You'd search ass cheeks or dildos and nothing would come up.

Quoteone of the rare studies which looked into Tumblr's inner workings. The same study also revealed that around a fifth (22 percent) of the site's web traffic came from adult sites, and landed on pornographic posts.
While the stats are almost certain out of date, it's without a doubt that Tumblr is killing a large chunk of its web traffic through today's decision,

QuoteIn a Catastrophically Bad Move, Tumblr Will Ban All Adult Content
Rather than invest in the employees, tools, and site infrastructure it would take to really take on their child pornography problem, Tumblr is burning itself down. [Full disclosure: I used to work at Tumblr in the Trust & Safety department, the very team tasked with cleaning up the worst of the explicit material uploaded to the platform.
https://www.themarysue.com/tumblr-will-ban-all-adult-content/
Anybody that knows what Tumblr is or uses it regularly knows this is a terrible idea, including people who worked in the very department responsible for removing explicit content.

More of their users are accidentally exposed to porn than those who want to see it.
It makes sense to get rid of it if 78% of the platform is non-NSFW.
22% is still considerable, but they're not wiping away their core users.

these stats mean nothing when matched against the hundreds of thousands of users reblogging & hearting all types of content, including the NSFW stuff. They started flagging shit as explicit last year but slowly gave up on it because of the excess of pornographic content, which came in a variety of ways. There are hundreds of thousands pornographic posts that are unaccounted for. They gon get the shock of their life in the coming weeks

I didn't "assume" anything. It's already happening and the policy isn't supposed to come into place until December 17th.

Tumblr will end up like Myspace if they don't fix that automatic flag system though.
In fact, a couple months ago, a Brandy gifset of mine has been flagged as porn and I've been wondering what that was about. :udontlookok: It all seems like a rushed move if you look at the huge amount of errors everyone is experiencing.

Yeah, I take back what I said. :holdupguys: Adult content makes up a large part. Can't argue with that.
Tumblr will end up like Myspace if they don't fix that automatic flag system though.
In fact, a couple months ago, a Brandy gifset of mine has been flagged as porn and I've been wondering what that was about. :udontlookok: It all seems like a rushed move if you look at the huge amount of errors everyone is experiencing.
how foolish of them
Tumblr was barely hanging on IMO to begin with :dead:

The study found that although 22% of users are actually there for porn, 28% are accidentally exposed to it.
More of their users are accidentally exposed to porn than those who want to see it.
It makes sense to get rid of it if 78% of the platform is non-NSFW.
22% is still considerable, but they're not wiping away their core users.
This move may actually bring a lot of their core users back. I'm sure many of them stopped coming once they saw BBC mess while they're looking for gardening photos. :omf:
these stats mean nothing when matched against the hundreds of thousands of users reblogging & hearting all types of content, including the NSFW stuff. They started flagging shit as explicit last year but slowly gave up on it because of the excess of pornographic content, which came in a variety of ways. There are hundreds of thousands pornographic posts that are unaccounted for. They gon get the shock of their life in the coming weeks
We'll see bvy sis.
My bet is that they'll be OK.

Opinions from TUMBLR users (the people who keep the site afloat)
And that link YOU posted said the app ban isn't the cause for this.
You literally don't even know what's going on. You just came in without knowing anything posting outdated receipts that don't apply to current Tumblr.
:diddraispoot:
And you didn't even know that there were exceptions to the "adult content" that will be restricted - you assumed that fashion/art posts will be banned as well

The study that I posted not only took into count the actual posted porn content, but those who reblogged/liked/shared it, etc.
CNN Business used this same 2016 study for their article.
(Yes, the study that someone in here said is irrelevant to our conversation :plea: )
My first instinct was to look at their content percentages. I wasn't alone.
QuoteAn estimated 21.3 million people in the United States use the website at least once per month, according to eMarketer. A 2016 study by researchers in Italy found only 0.1% of users uploaded pornographic content to the website. But the same study found that 22% of Tumblr users liked or reblogged such material, while another 28% were unintentionally exposed to it.
There's no doubt that 22% is significant.
Any company should pause before they think about alienating almost 1/4th of its users.
But it's not the same as alienating almost 80% of its users.

I think the real issue is that some things are hidden with that permission to view content message (annoyance) and then there's sources that are completely deleted, but I'd say it hasn't been too hard to find mess.
Yea that makes sense
Shame it had to go this way because ppl are disgusting

I'll be looking out for a conclusive report regarding post-ban numbers, as this is what the conversation is about.
It has either declined in the latter part December following the ban or it has risen and/or stabilized.
I might do some research later - these first two charts with conflicting December data were confusing.
