#2Title extracted from intro sentence since article title is uninformative. (also the intro sentence has a typo)

#3Seems like it will force a lot of people onto other platforms. I wonder if it will be the Fediverse and if the Fediverse is ready for it.

#4How much of Tumblr is NSFW material? How many of their users are only there for that? I would have guessed... most?

#5Surprise, surprise.
The shittiest "tech" job has to be reviewing flag content looking for child porn, snuff, etc.
Sounds like tumblr/oath/verizon just decided that it was easier to not have to pick and choose which porn was o.k.
Section 230 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230_of_the_Communicati...) was recently neutered by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Enabling_Sex_Traffickers_...
So once again no really a surprise that tumblr is saying goodbye.

The main thing is that some Tumblr users consider depictions of childlike characters having sex as OK, whereas that's considered illegal on most of the west. The exact same issue happened to LiveJournal a decade ago, but LiveJournal decided they'd rather keep the new users, creating an exodus of mainstream users as the site became an underage HP fanfic site.

#10The phrase "female-presenting nipples" opens up so much room for interpretation and discussion, doesn't seem like a great choice for trying to make your policy less ambiguous.
