Some Perspective.

kevinnuut:

Wasn’t it just a few months ago that Tumblr was telling us to protest censorship from bills like SOPA and PIPA, then they go about proposing their own forms of censorship when it comes to individuals who express interest in body harm and mutilation?

No censorship means no censorship. It doesn’t just apply to governments; it applies to every individual, company, and organization. I have a deep respect and love for Tumblr, but these two staff posts (partially) contradict themselves (if Option 1 is enacted).

tumblr is a private organization

private organization can say “we do not support and will not host encouragement of destructive behaviors”

very different from gov’t attempting to shut down internet in name of IP law

this is pretty simple yo

  13. env0 said: I went and read the …’censoring’ of self harm. … Its more so the concern for those who do cut, or self mutilate, or consider suicide, or have eating disorders. Tumblr is attempting to provide resources in a positive manner for people.
