I wonder why this is blowing up today? It's not a brand new policy: it's been largely the same since at least April 29 of this year, i.e., before Yahoo bought Tumblr: http://web.archive.org/web/20130426023137/http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/nsfw http://web.archive.org/web/20130426023137/http://www.tumblr....
What seems to be new is a) the addition of the "Adult" category, which is blocked from safe search tag pages even for people who follow a particular blog and b) a slight relaxation to the third-party indexing policy, where NSFW (but not Adult) blogs are now indexed by external search engines.
- ricardobeat 13y agoI don't use Tumblr, but I think you're underestimating the change. While blogs in the NSFW category had little restrictions, 'Adult' ones are completely hidden from everyone except those who have already subscribed. Characterizing Adult vs NSFW is arbitrary, so your blog might simply disappear without any warning.
- PhasmaFelis 13y agoHow about the part where, for example, the #gay tag returns zero results unless you turn safe search off? It's now impossible to search for gay support/community stuff on Tumblr without making an account and explicitly enabling porn.
