Tumblr Statement as a Blogging Post

In a Statement, the group stated: “Tumblr is on 17. December to exclude the adult content permanently from its platform. (…) The prohibition includes explicit sexual content and nudity, with a few exceptions. Among the forbidden content, photos, Videos, and GIFs of the human genitals, female nipples, as well as all of the content that include sexual acts, including illustrations.”

exceptions are intended to form, for example, illustrations and art, classical statues, and political protests with nudity or nursing mothers. Even erotic texts will continue to be on the Blogging page.

The Community discussed since the announcement hot on the decision. Many Users react with incomprehension to the message, argue that pornographic content would entice the largest part of the User on the page and it was the only reason why you use the platform at all.

The opinions range from negative statements such as “Tumblr prohibits Naked-pictures? Wouldn’t it be the Easiest for Tumblr, to allow only pictures of the autumn trees and cocoa cups on the window sills?” and “Tumblr throws his adult-Community out – has said to you because none of what is the purpose of the Internet?” to understanding users, who think that you cannot get to the child pornography would be different. Others show concern.
