hey, moon

so, according to the new Tumblr ‘Community Guidelines’, our right to freedom of expression is now being violated

I’m very angry about this, I shall be emailing tumblr with my complaints.

I clicked on that I did not agree with the new terms of service but it offered to delete my blog, and I’m not so keen on that either.

Thanks Tumblr, for taking part in this ever-increasing censorship of everything that we do and say.

so basically tumblr wants to take down our themes, crushes, a lot of other features and all extentions because of its new terms of service, huh.
i thought the censorship about guro was suppose to be the ultimate bullshit.

Thought of the day.

Tumblr to self-censor and prevent free expression through its service.

There, I said it.

Censorship is telling a man he can’t have a steak just because a baby can’t chew it.

The real issue is that people don’t want to look at how ugly and awful it can be to be alive sometimes. Reading a blog about a girl eating 250 calories a day might make you take a long hard look at what caused them to think this is a good idea. Who knows, you might actually start to care about things like patriarchy. Don’t forget that it’s still okay to have a racist blog on Tumblr. It’s still okay to have a blog where you take pictures of people eating and call them fat. Tumblr even says explicitly that it’s fine to make jokes about starving yourself. In essence, it’s okay to have the kind of blog that causes someone to degenerate into the mental state where they might develop an eating disorder, but once they get one they need to be swept them under the rug unless they only talk about their disease in a manner the bros at Tumblr decide is okay.

it’s self-harm in the beginning, but later on they’ll censor anything they don’t like. say adieu to gore, porn, etc..

Tumblr Staff: A New Policy Against Self-Harm Blogs→

staff:

One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech,…

you got to be kidding me.

too much for letting “you effortlessly share anything”.
