A better, more positive Tumblr

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.

i had hoped to write tonight but unfortunately, with the holiday season approaching, work has kicked my ass so i’ve been too tired to think coherently enough to do anything more than plot and make gifs. so if you would like to plot with me, just drop me a message. i can do that all day. but actual writing ? yeah, nah  –  that’s not happening tonight.

can i snuggle into your chest and forget about everything for a little while?

also thohh’s past storyline was set in the 90′s. olivia was born in the 50′s. homosexuality was still a very taboo subject in the time when olivia was growing up, it was considered a crime and a disease. we obviously know better now. and even though olivia was never of that mindset, she’s seen friends go through both acceptance and rejection when their sexualities have come to light. she didn’t want theo, when she was eventually ready, to feel afraid of telling her who she is. so any opportunity liv had to talk to theo and impress on her that she could talk to olivia about anything and everything, she took it. she did the same with all of the kids, because it’s important to olivia that they talk about what they’re feeling and thinking and what they want, but with theo especially, she tried to be as open as she possibly could. 

[twice-lit]

In that scene with Theo when Liv says that she can talk to her about anything, do you think she was maybe also hinting at Theo being gay? Since she guessed it when Theo was 8. Just adding that to my list of things we were robbed of 😭😭

oh yeah totally !  i think there’s actually a gif set floating around that makes that connection, and i one hundred percent think that’s just one of many things olivia was referencing in that conversation. because obviously, theo at eight years old might not have been ready to identify or even really understand the feelings she was having at the time, at that age it’s not really something you worry about. i don’t think it’s until you’re a bit older that “coming out” really starts to become something you concern yourself over and, for some people, fear. so even though olivia didn’t think at the time that theo necessarily knew or understood what she was feeling or how she identified, liv wanted to assure her that she could talk to her about anything. she didn’t want theo to think that not talking about something important to her and to who she is was her only option. which, if you think about it, liv’s death kind of completely 180′d that  –  olivia saying theo could talk to her about anything and then no longer being there for her to talk to, i personally think that only closed theo off even more.
