Tumblr has been a major platform for some including artists, musicians and scene kids that have accumulated tons of followers on platforms like Instagram and Twitter. Tumblr has made a public statement reading that it will move to ban all adult content as of Dec. 17th including photos of genitalia, photos, vids and GIF’s pertaining to sex or acts of sex… but why?
Well, the app has been removed from the App store recently because of “some child sex abuse content” made it’s way on to the site. That was enough for the Verizon owned site to removed from being able to be downloaded on to your iPhone, and enough for Verizon to say, enough is enough.. No more adult content will be permitted going forward. According to USA Today, “We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content,” Tumblr CEO Jeff D’Onofrio wrote in a post on the site. “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.”
