- qubex 9y agoYesterday Tumblur emailed this: As part of our commitment to transparency, we want you to know that we uncovered and terminated 84 accounts linked to Internet Research Agency or IRA (a group closely tied to the the Russian government) posing as members of the Tumblr community. The IRA engages in electronic disinformation and propaganda campaigns around the world using phony social media accounts. When we uncovered these accounts, we notified law enforcement, terminated the accounts, and deleted their original posts. While investigating their activity on Tumblr, we discovered that you either followed one of these accounts linked to the IRA, or liked or reblogged one of their posts: 1-800-gloup bellaxiao previously known as: blogmadworldlove bellygangstaboo cartnsncreal previously known as: feelmydragonballs destinyrush previously known as: delightfullyghostlysong fedupwithlying previously known as: badgyalforyou gentlexnoise previously known as: slakerglitch, superblydopepatrol gogomrbrown previously known as: go-mrbrown, infectedv0ice, todd-la-death honestlyyoungpersona hustleinatrap previously known as: thenaturecanpost, tumblercube jenningsmiracle lagonegirl massmedear previously known as: massblog021 mooseblogtimes morningwoodz previously known as: 5cubes, bangbangempire, empireofweird, gifemprireohh, innerpicsempire, picsempire nevaehtyler previously known as: laserenita postingwhileblack previously known as: ghettablasta, heygeraldmartinjohanssen, honestinjun, nativewolveshere rebellloudwiththecrowd previously known as: massivelystrangetyrant sassydreamlandcloud shoutoutworldwide previously known as: blackprideworldwide, krispymentalitycowboy skullofjustice previously known as: naughtykermit, ryanbutlersstuff, usnationaldebt sumchckn previously known as: blondeinpolitics, blvckcommunity, classylgbthomie, hwuudoin, politixblondie swagintherain previously known as: blacklivesmatterusa, carzwithgirlz the-real-eye-to-see thetrippytrip previously known as: matrixpath, themostpost thingstolovefor previously known as: the-inner-mirror this-truly-brutal-world previously known as: awesomewhitepearl, free-mind-and-soul You aren’t in trouble, and don’t need to take any action if you don’t want to. We deleted the accounts but decided to leave up any reblog chains so that you can curate your own Tumblr to reflect your own personal views and perspectives. Democracy requires transparency and an informed electorate and we take our disclosure responsibility very seriously. We’ll be aggressively watching for disinformation campaigns in the future, take the appropriate action, and make sure you know about it. — Tumblr
