Okay, obviously everyone is upset. But.. We’re all a family right!? IF ANYONE SEES THIS!! PLEASE REBLOG!! BRING ADULT CONTENT BACK TO TUMBLR!!! Petitions are not made by complaining but by signing (or in Tumblr terms, reblogging). If you wish to have adult content returned and back to original state before December 17th 2018, THEN PLEASE REBLOG!

#melissamayer (ceo of yahoo, made the decision)

It’s not because they care. It’s not to “make the site safer for minors”

It’s because the staff want ads and you “can’t put ads next to ‘porn’ ” (first off, bullshit)

It’s because the app store took down their app for CP. If the app store hadn’t done that nothing would have changed.

It’s all about money. No one on Apple devices are downloading their app. They’re doing whatever they can to please Apple to get their app back on the store.

If the app isn’t on the store no one is seeing ads that people pay them to put on their site. If no one’s seeing them, why pay to have ads on the site. They’re losing money.

Staff does not care about us or what we want.

They’re excuses about making the site more positive are lies.

They are going to destroy communities and online families/friendships.

They are going to destroy safe spaces for people who have no where else they can be themselves. Where they won’t be shamed for what they’re into.

DON’T LET THE STAFF SILENCE US.

We will fight to change this.

We have until the 17th.

For everyone interested in signing the petition floating around, and for everyone interested in logging out of tumblr for 24 hours, like another post is saying, I’ve got one question:

If staff doesn’t act on this, what are you willing to do?

If your answer is “Delete my account”, then by all means, go on.

If your answer is “I don’t know” or “Nothing”, then I would ask you to reconsider.

The truth is that tumblr/staff/verizon probably will not listen to any petition. They will not be actively hurt by seeing any number of people being against them as long as they are still on tumblr. They will not be actively hurt by anyone logging off of tumblr for 24 hours as long as they log back in later. As long as the accounts are on tumblr, they will not be hurt. The only way to actively hurt tumblr/staff/verizon is to remove your tumblr.

This post explains why.

Please share this, please reconsider taking a passive approach. It’s a very hard decision to make, to remove your tumblr, but they are forcing our hands and we need to act. They will benefit from us being passive. We need to be active.
