Tumblr will permanently ban adult content from its platform on December 17th in a move that will eradicate porn-related communities on the platform and fundamentally alter how the service is used. The ban includes explicit sexual content and nudity with a few exceptions, the company tells The Verge. The new policy’s announcement comes just days after Tumblr was removed from Apple’s iOS App Store over a child pornography incident, but it extends far beyond that matter alone. “Adult content will no longer be allowed here,” the company flatly stated in a blog post published on Monday.
Banned content includes photos, videos, and GIFs of human genitalia, female-presenting nipples, and any media involving sex acts, including illustrations. The exceptions include nude classical statues and political protests that feature nudity. The new guidelines exclude text, so erotica remains permitted. Illustrations and art that feature nudity are still okay — so long as sex acts aren’t depicted — and so are breastfeeding and after-birth photos. Возникает естественный вопрос: зачем, почему?
В статье по ссылке цитируется некий CEO:
“We’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward,” CEO Jeff D’Onofrio says in a blog post. “We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change.” D’Onofrio says Tumblr weighed the pros and cons thoroughly before making its decision. It also decided not to remove explicit accounts because it wanted to give these accounts a chance to post appropriate content instead.That makes about zero sense. Culture evolves в сторону запрета adult content?
Отмечу смешную фразу: "It also decided not to remove explicit accounts because it wanted to give these accounts a chance to post appropriate content instead." Так и вижу, как explicit accounts перекуются и начнут постить appropriate content instead.
И, главное, разве adult content был inappropriate для tublr?
Laci Green:
with tumblr's new policy, sexual content has now been banned on every major social media website. hard to overstate the significance of that.В комментариях к этому твиту пишут, что "sexual content" (пока) разрешен на Твиттере и reddit'е.
from the printing press to the internet, puritanical control of sexuality has always targeted tools of mass communication first.
Я лично ни на Твиттере, ни на Реддите никогда подобного контента не видел, потому что я на эти сайты за другой информацией хожу. Что, по-моему, иллюстрирует отсутствие проблемы с этим кнтентом на подобных сайтах. Если бы он навязывался тем, кто не хочет его видеть, то понятно, что есть проблема, а так...
Иллюстрация забавная. Хотя понятно, почему эта картинка was flagged, конечно.
