Tumblr to ban all NSFW content

In order to try to eradicate illegal and undesirable content from Tumblr, the site will begin banning graphic adult content. Banned material includes pictures, videos, and GIFs of genitalia, nipples (female only), and images of sex acts. Text will still be allowed, as will "art that features nudity" (whatever that means).

A whole lot of sex workers' blogs will take a hit. I know a lot of providers use Tumblr as their main advertising/web site.

And in the end this will have very little chance of impacting the actual target of this ban. People who look for illegal and undesirable material on Tumbler aren't using it as a source for that material. It is a "beacon" that signals content located on other sites. Guys post illegal content that is re-blogged, but when the content is deleted the links to the other blogs remain as breadcrumbs to help people find other repositories of illegal material. Blocking all adult material won't impact the illegal stuff, but will annoy people who want to share legitimate erotica.

"Let's get this site cleaned up! No more naked females! Who the fuck wants to see.... Where are you guys going? Guys? Come on.... Hey, wait, no...."

And thus Tumblr ends not with a bang, but with a whimper.

How long do you think it will take before Twitter does the same?

Here is a good article, or an upsetting article regarding Tumblir and now FB updated TOS.

Given the state of political correctness, almost everything is NSFW.

I am very computer illiterate. I never heard of Tumbler.
I have heard of Twitter, but never used it.
I enjoy the few escort sites I visit.
I am in the process of getting screened by a few nice chicks in the areas I normally work in, just in case things go south again like this year.
I should have enough names and numbers to last me a while.
