Tumblr Deletes All Porn

[ThoughtEx.]

Wait...

whew, I checked, the rest of the internet still has an infinite supply of porn. I think we are going to be ok.

Tumblr porn scared me anyway, you'd be surfing along minding your own business, then all of a sudden bestiality. And no matter how much of that **** you report, it multiplies exponentially.

The Week is on the case today:

The directory system was eventually shut down and a new center for Tumblr's political community (as well as those 40-ish other tags) was introduced. It was a feed of hand-curated content, with about a dozen rotating editor positions assigned to prominent users by Tumblr staff. This system was oddly personal and aristocratic and engendered a fair bit of complaint, but it served with some success as a common space for each curated tag's community. I was an editor for several months and enjoyed it.

That's all gone now. There's no more directory or curated tags. There's no center to the politics community at all. Well-intended functionality changes have made in-depth conversation and debate more difficult. Nearly all the well-known political bloggers have deactivated or abandoned their accounts.

On a larger scale, corporate buyouts — Tumblr by Yahoo in 2013 and Yahoo by Verizon in 2017 — have been poorly received by users. Former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer promised "not to screw it up," but consensus holds that Tumblr did indeed get screwed.

I understand why they are doing this move, it's wack man. Like, porn is the majority of Tumblr's traffic and so without the porn, its going down the tubes like Myspace.

Some sites that were not porn, though, won't be OK, because Tumblr's idiot algorithm targeted and eliminated them, w/o so much as an advance warning.

One site I'm acquainted with did deal with a topic of eroticism, but it was not porn or even NSFW.

Little did George Orwell dream what sort of "thoughtcrimes" would be invented by our ultra-legalistic culture.

I demand that my society cease and desist this program of repression.

The sexual revolution was a good idea.

Washington state, huh? My condolences for being so far from the Rio Grande. Ignore the idiots that say they wouldn't touch a Mexican with a ten foot pole. They are likely gringo morons begging to get ripped off. Someone probably stuck them with "rough trade" instead of having the intelligence and wherewithal to find a nice college student.

Can't you get action in Vancouver, BC?

Porn doesn't do anything for me, it's just a pile of pixels. I have to have a real person. What about you?

We are not playing with other people these days as my wife is suffering from health problems at the moment, but yes sure I use porn, that is the point of this thread.

What does the subject of illegal aliens have to do with that of porn suppression?

What does the subject of illegal aliens have to do with that of porn suppression?

You don't need porn if you've got the real thing. Furthermore, they are not illegal aliens if you are in their country.

This non sequitur doesn't respond to much of anything, much less my question. Once more:

I miss my Tumblr porn.

Remember, it's okay to let impressionable children be exposed to hate speech, but God forbid that they ever, ever see a bare breast. /s

Then stop voting for politicians that make it harder to safely publish sex acts with consenting adults. Tumblr's policy was an overreaction to SESTA/FOSTA, which never should have made it to the president's desk.

And yes, I am painfully aware that a LOT of Democrats voted for that pathetic bill. :thumbdown

This leaves an opening for the US to be an undesirable location for any kind of social site. InternationalSexGuide changed their suffix to .nl and now has an office in the Netherlands. Skokka seems to have distributed their locus to each country they serve, such as au.skokka.com for Australia, mx.skokka.com for Mexico, co.skokka.com for Colombia, etc.

That's just it, the demand for sex work is not going to go away, no matter how much the puritans try. That's why I believe sex work should be legalized, taxed, and regulated.

Nobody is being punished here, there’s no crime

Nobody is being punished here, there’s no crime

Culture is on trial, and no one even has to make a formal charge. "Sentence first, evidence afterward."
