Why Tumblr Has Rolled Out ID Verification

UK legislation: Online Safety Act 2023

Brazil legislation: Digital Statute For Children And Adolescents

Apple App Store Age Verification

These are not tumblr specific policies. Tumblr is implementing age verification in response to legislative moves that were made months ago.

Tumblr is a failing social media site that has escaped death multiple times already; they do not have the social cachet to defy state regulatory agencies. We know they won't say no to Apple, either--the porn ban on tumblr was in response to Apple's crackdown on explicit content.

If you did not know this was happening, you were behind the curve. That is fine. You're caught up now. The next step is to link up with people in your country who are working to preserve privacy, to roll back these laws where they exist, and to prevent their passage where they do not. In the US the organization you want is Stop KOSA--in the EU you can start with Fight Chat Control.

Repealing ID verification and blocking chat control will help everyone, especially the most vulnerable. We can push this back, but we cannot get it done through the Feedback form. We have to get it done at the legislative level and lock it down so it cannot be forced upon us. I see lots of anger out there. Good. Put it to use.

So to be 100% clear:

tumblr just added an update that requires you to verify your age in order to view "mature content". I'm not sure how they do the verification (haven't yet checked), but given recent similar updates from things like Discord, it most likely involves sending them a photo of either your face or your ID.

In addition, over the past few months, and also years in the long-term, tumblr has been incorrectly marking things as mature content. These include:

  • Notifications about missing persons and requests for help
  • Posts about youth liberation
  • Posts about sex education
  • Posts about how the mature content is poorly implemented
  • Posts about being trans, more specifically about trans women and transmisogyny by both tumblr and users on tumblr
  • Non-sexual selfies by trans women/transfems
  • Trans womens'/transefems' ENTIRE BLOGS even if the blog contains no sexual content
  • Reblogs made by various blogs, mostly trans women, which add no additional content but somehow are marked as containing mature content, when the original post is not
  • Posts talking about racism and antiblackness both on and off tumblr
  • Posts by black people, especially black trans people, that are non-sexual
  • And likely many more I haven't seen

In essence, this update has mandated that a majority of users (within the UK and Brazil) must either a) submit their personal information to tumblr, a website whose moderation has been EXTREMELY biased against marginalised people and who I would not trust with my ID, or b) be excluded from absolutely all conversations tumblr decides are "mature content", whether they are actually sexual in nature or not. Furthermore, anyone not over 18 will also not be allowed to take part in these conversations, or even see them, or interact with many trans women or people of colour on this site, as tumblr decides.

This update is complete bullshit designed to censor and exclude marginalised people, poorly hidden under a guise of "protecting teenagers from sexual content", and they know it.

EDIT: This update apparently only affects users in the UK or Brazil, like me. This is still bullshit even if it's just some people.

Anonymous asked:

i feel like going on a date with Jack and Nurm would genuinely heal me.

Jack's date idea would probably be an active one, like hiking or going to a popular place to hang out and have fun

Nurm's date idea would probably be something more intimate and quiet. Just sippin' tea and getting in your feels

<3

I KNOW. augh it’d be a therapeutic experience if anything🥹🥹 romance be damned I just want to spend time with em. they’d treat me right ||:>,] jack def knows all the good spots to hike or camp or just have fun wherever and just have a really good time. meanwhile nurm would chill at home and cook or bake something together and sip homebrewed tea :,)

I’d definitely lean more towards a chill date (not being being biased this time I swear, I just like staying in more) than an active one but I wouldn’t mind being with either or both of them. id have a good time nonetheless :,>]

thank you mystery anon I really needed this [:,>))
