Everyone’s complaining about tumblr but the only reason tumblr is doing all of this is because of pedophiles abusing the site to post child p-rn, like im actually happy tumblr is actually doing something ?? and i thought others would too ??

No the only reason Tumblr is doing this is because Apple took the app off the store and they were massively losing out. If they cared about child pornography they would have acted. They aren’t trying to take down extremism, they aren’t doing more than the bare minimum to deal with mental health, because there’s no financial penalty to allowing those things. They’re acting on this in a rash and unprofessional manner- not going through proper testing protocols- because they’re desperate to recover their income. That’s why they’re doing this. And as I said yesterday, it’s like saying that we should stop child abuse by not having any more children. Flagging innocuous pictures of frogs and sewing patterns (all true things that have been tagged) is not an effective way to tackle child exploitation on this website
