Apple has removed Tumblr from its App store.

Wow, Trumblr is definitely failing big time there... Shame that the doings of users gets a popular site removed, but maybe it will provoke them to step it up and get that resolved. In an age where facial recognition is possible, there is no excuse not to have a system that can't recognize and flag other such things like that.

that and obnoxious shipper blogs . Seriously tumblr doing this also hurts adult content creators who like to show their work in the platform.

Those attempts to look progressive more and more look like a comedy of mistakes.
Something like Spaceballs. Just without self-awareness. |

Management has been really awful ever since the Yahoo purchase; the staff themselves have pretty much little to do with the "progressiveness" among the locals, and have basically shot themselves in the foot in the midst of demands to get rid of porn bots that were plaguing the place.

That's actually the most clever thing I've caught from you. Although I confess to not paying the closest attention sometimes. That was a nice, stiff jab though. Wish I'd thought of it.

Tumblr is taking the ban on adult content very seriously

Tumblr is a cancer anyway. No big loss.

Tumblr cries censorship while they were the ones who helped propagate this culture of everything needs to be censored because it offends me. While it deserves it, the implications are not fun since not only can you not do a 180 on what the platform has been used for they implemented a ridiculous algorithm flagging things that shouldn't. I've seen articles where people who have no idea what tumblr is are saying "this is good" because of whatever article that had a horrible take on the situation and people are not going to disagree in saying that keeping adult stuff to people who shouldn't be viewing it as bad. This is the strategy politicians always use to pass laws because no one wants to vote against something that is doing "good".

Its strange how artwork that's safe for work is getting flagged. I wonder if they are just cracking down on artwork based on copyrighted works?

Polygon did a report on this. Apparently Tumblr's wonky algorithm is flagging a bunch of innocent posts.

I can't help but enjoy watching Tumblr panic itself into full-fledged meltdown.
