Would a decent way to protest this bullshit decision be for all of us to utterly flood our blogs with LEGAL nudes for the rest of the week and tag @staff each and every time?

I’ve considered it.

The thing that’s so galling is how Tumblr is following this pattern that’s emerged among new and growing platforms: embrace and support sex workers while the platform is maturing, and then banning those same people – who helped the platform grow and flourish – at some arbitrary point in the future.

It’s not 1950. The Internet isn’t your corner newsstand. Instead of banning all adult content, which ridiculously tends to include non-sexual LBGTQ content, platforms like Tumblr should work with legitimate sex workers to develop tools and policies that both protect children and respect the rights of adults.

You’re really doing this all wrong, @staff.
