Tumblr Is Explicitly Banning Hate Speech

A+ move

 

I wonder what exactly falls under tumblr's hate speech criteria.

 

From the linked piece:

Don’t encourage violence or hatred. Don’t post content for the purpose of promoting or inciting the hatred of, or dehumanizing, individuals or groups based on race, ethnic or national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, disability or disease. If you encounter content that violates our hate speech policies, please report it.

 

Not trolling: do people still use Tumblr? I haven't seen someone link to Tumblr in forever, feels like someone linking to LiveJournal.

 

Alexa rankings has it at #24 in terms of most-trafficked websites in the US

 

meanwhile Jack(ass) over at twitter is more concerned with giving freedom of speech to racists and nazis.

 

Crazy.

 

I still use it, and I feel like it's still largely popular with younger crowds because its the one social media their parents aren't on

 

And ISIS, which blows my mind

 

That explains it, I'm 34.

 

The only people that still use tumbl are teenagers with neon hair

 

...I’m 27.

The crowd is primarily younger on there though for sure

 

I promise I don't mean this as a diss… but I still consider 27 fairly young. Actually 27 may have been the last time (around) when I even logged into Tumbr.

I don't disagree either, I'm sure there's plenty of people my age who still use it, but I'm struggling to think of any of my friends (who are my age) who still do.

 

no I hear you haha I just thought both of you were assuming I was more in the "stereotypical" target age of tumblr and I'm not.
I can't imagine I will be using it in 7 years when I'm your age but I mean I guess you never know hahah

 

but muh freedum of speech!!!!!!!!!!11111

/obvious sarcasm

 

Who knows, maybe I'll be back on Tumblr in 7 years.
