Sex is not bad. Sex is good. Nudity is not wrong. Nudity is right. Self-love, self expression, exhibition and voyeurism are not perverted or sick. Self-love, self expression, exhibition and voyeurism are normal and healthy. Sharing our consensual experiences through images is not abhorrent. Sharing our consensual experiences through images is artistic.
Please don’t feel guilty today for being human. Please don’t feel like a deviant. You are decent. You are kinky. You are freaky cool.
In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours.
The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts.
Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.
However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.
Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic work’s nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.
This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable.
To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of November 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Don’t post. Don’t log on. Don’t even visit the website. Don’t give them that sweet ad revenue.
Tumblr’s stock has already taken a hard hit. Let’s make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users.
Reblog to signal boost! We must force change.
I’m in
Well said!
“
To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of November”
I think there is an error for the date but rather 17 december.
however, i agree with this movement!!
In risposta al divieto NSFW emanato da Tumblr Staff, il 17 dicembre 2018 propongo di disconnetterci tutti dai nostri account Tumblr per 24 ore. La mancanza di rispetto e comunicazione tra il personale e gli utenti è netta. Gli utenti hanno chiesto al personale di eliminare l’epidemia di bot porno, che ha afflitto il sito per oltre un anno. I robot porno inviano spesso messaggi e richieste, cercando di convincerli a visitare un sito pieno di virus. Inoltre inviano messaggi pubblicitari su altri post.
Gli utenti hanno anche implorato che Tumblr vietasse neonazisti, pornografia infantile e pedofili, tutti quelli che dilagano sul sito. Il sito / app è diventato così cattivo che è stato rimosso dall’app store.
Tuttavia, invece di rispondere agli utenti, Tumblr si è invece lasciato libero di vietare tutti i contenuti NSFW, indipendentemente dall’età. Ma gli utenti hanno già riscontrato problemi sul fatto che i loro contenuti SFW sono contrassegnati come sensibili e vengono contrassegnati come NSFW, non consentendo loro di condividere il proprio lavoro.
Questo non solo discrimina nuovamente i creatori di contenuti, ma discrimina anche le lavoratrici del sesso. Disgustosamente, il divieto sarà emanato il 17 dicembre, che è anche la Giornata internazionale per porre fine alla violenza contro i lavoratori del sesso.
Questo divieto è disgustoso, e mentre io (e molti altri) accolgo con favore i robot pornografici e il pornografia infantile è vietato, il sistema di filtraggio di Tumblr è rotto. Tagga i capezzoli del lavoro artistico come NSFW (quando è arte), etichetta l’arte SFW come NSFW (quando non lo è), e non ferma i bot pornografici, i neo-nazisti e dozzine di altri problemi.
Questo divieto è discriminatorio. Questo divieto è inefficace. Questo divieto è inaccettabile. Per protestare, disconnettiti dal tuo account Tumblr per l’intero 17 novembre. Disconnettersi alle 12:00 EST o alle 21:00 PST e rimanere fuori per 24 ore. Non pubblicare. Non accedere. Non visitare nemmeno il sito web. Non dare loro quei dolci introiti pubblicitari.
Le azioni di Tumblr hanno già subito un duro colpo. Facciamolo tank. Forse poi ascolteranno gli utenti.
Reblog per segnalare boost! Dobbiamo forzare il cambiamento.
👍
👍👍🤬🤬🤬
Aren’t they going to be logging off for us? I fully expect all my content and my 23,000± filters to be gone on December 17.
Jeff take your flags and … well the title says it all. I could draw you the pic but it would be so nsfw and this is bad omg omg sooo bad, your mistress Apple will have to spank us all.
I could even draw a female nipple but you could have a heart attack seeing it and I would feel so guilty so …. no.
But you know something?
I don’t give a fuck.
You are closing my blogs and send us all away … and I don’t give a fucking fuck.
I am not going to change shit for you.
I am going down the way I choose to go.
Posting what I like, posting what I want , posting what I love to post.
ElegantDarkWolf will not become a fucking puppy to survive your BS policies. My blog won’t post birds and flowers and muffins for you to make money you piece of shit.
Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.
Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).
Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.
So what is changing?
Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.
Why are we doing this?
It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.
Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.
So what’s next?
Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.
Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.
Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.
Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.
