Tumblr used to be a platform that provided a space for people to connect with other likeminded people. From recipes to writing, to activism to erotica, the site was interesting and despite having the occasional issues with people who do not know how to behave when they're behind a keyboard (as opposed to face to face), the site was a good place to pursue interests, engage in open discussion in a non-judgemental way and meet people, even if virtually. Due to Tumblr's poor management skills, porn bots inflitrated the site and this led to more complex issues linked to child pornography content. However, instead of addressing the issue with the support of the user community, which had actually raised this to the point of exhaustion, Tumblr decided to implement an adult content ban where they have censored people and implemented sexist, racist giudelines. For example, the guidelines refers explicitly to "female presenting nipples" and also several searches for "black" appear not to give any finds. Conversely, white supremacy blogs still appear on the site. An important point is that this ban has also had a negative impact on artists and sex workers, who used the platform to promote their work and built and maintain a client and fan-base. Ultimately, Tumblr appears a company that claims to allow people to "Be Yourself" and "Express Yourself". It is clear from this decision and the lack of both consultation and user involvement, that those statements are simply paying lip service to a lie.
