Reminder that Tumblr banned all porn on their website because they wanted to throw the entire userbase under the bus instead of doing the bare minimum of moderating actual illegal content that was being posted to their website. Literally taking a stance of “If we cant have our CSAM than nobody gets to have porn of anything” The only people who stayed after that decision were the creeps who Tumblr was protecting.
I honestly dont blame them for banning all porn, how do you seperate the likely tens of thousands of CSAM of people self-posting nudes underaged from the legit ones? I dont think its even possible.
Kind of shows you how fucked up the porn industry online actually is, lack of verification makes it really like an ancaps fantasy, shit sucks.

It was a little bit more than that though. Like they didn’t do it out of laziness, they were actively throwing the creeps a bone.
I wasn’t around for it so I don’t know the details but I remember reading a really good callout post about what was happening.
