As you can see, iβve almost never post these kinds of thing on my blog, and although 90% of you wonβt really care but this is a big deal to us. The Indonesian government is trying to block Tumblr because they think the only things we post here is porn. Now this isnβt the first time theyβve done this, weβve had Vimeo blocked since a while back, Netflix this month and now theyβre trying to take away Tumblr from us.
Please, please, please reblog this and get the word out. I really hope the Tumblr staffs would read this too. No you wonβt get 600000 followers from reblogging this, neither will a killer from the 1800s jump out of your closet if you donβt reblog. Itβs just a plea for help from a tumblr to another.
We are a part of this big community, we are fandoms bloggers, aesthetic bloggers, random bloggers, social justice bloggers, personal bloggers, literary bloggers just like you.
We need YOUR help to get the words heard of what our government is trying to do.
P.S. Sorry for the bad English.
March 6th, 2018 edit:
The Indonesian government has just banned Tumblr for βadult contentβ I can no longer access it via computer but for some reason I can still open tumblr via the mobile app but for how long? If I and other Indonesian tumblogs disappear, then you know why.
