Tumblr says it’s working on “additional features for a less restricted iOS app experience,” but there’s no information on when or how this will be implemented. When Tumblr first implemented the change, innocent posts were frequently flagged for explicit content, and it seems like we’re seeing history repeat itself, but in a different way. As a result, Tumblr banned adult content altogether, a major shift from the platform's previously laissez-faire policies on NSFW posts. Tumblr started having issues with Apple in 2018 when its app was unexpectedly removed from the App Store after child pornography was found on the platform. “We understand that these adjustments will impact how users are able to access potentially sensitive content” The platform appears to have blocked “queue” as well, a tag that’s typically applied to posts that were placed in a queue and serves as a signal to followers that they may not be online at the moment. “Me” and “my face” are blocked, both of which are tags that bloggers use to label their selfies (oh, and did I forget to mention that “selfie” is banned, too?). To make things even weirder, Tumblr blacklisted some tags that basically function as unspoken social cues on the site. “Single dad,” “single mom,” “single parent,” “suicide prevention,” and “testicular cancer” are also on the list, potentially harming those who want to seek support in any of these areas. Some banned tags are blatantly related to sexual, violent, or harmful content, but others don’t seem to belong on the list, and may actually do more harm than good by staying on it.įor example, “girl,” “sad,” and oddly enough, “Alec Lightwood,” an actor from the show Shadowhunters, has been banned (because even Tumblr can’t handle those eyes). The user notes that most of these tags have been banned on iOS -not on all devices - and that the listed tags are subject to change. Users on iOS who receive a submission to their blog won’t even be able to view it since the “submission” tag is already added, as shown in a post by one Tumblr user.īut the other thing is TUMBLR WILL AUTOMATICALLY ADD THAT TAG FOR YOU- foone December 26, 2021Īnother Tumblr user, aptly named “bannedtags,” has been keeping track of all the blocked tags in a Google Doc. The interesting part, though, is that Tumblr applies that tag automatically when a post is submitted and then published to a blog on the platform. A Twitter thread brought attention to some of the absurd tags that ended up getting filtered out on iOS, including the tag “submission.” Tags are what make posts searchable on Tumblr posts with censored tags won’t appear on a users’ dashboard, nor will they show up on the platform’s search page. Tumblr says it has to “extend the definition of what sensitive content is” to “remain available within Apple’s App Store,” and it seems that Tumblr stretched it pretty far. The platform explains that it’s changing iOS users’ ability to access sensitive content, affecting their experience when it comes to searching for content, scrolling through the “Stuff for You” and “Following” sections of the dashboard, and could even prevent access to blogs that are flagged.
#Tumblr auto queue update#
The trees are left to drift out into the water.An update to Tumblr’s iOS app censors a long list of tags to comply with Apple’s strict safety guidelines. Then, as the ice begins to melt, these are recovered. Over the years, other cutouts have been created by locals, including school children, to augment the experience. The owners decided to play a kind of practical joke on tourists - something light and fun to confound visitors.Īmong other things, they created a Nome National Forest sign, which according to reports drew the ire of an actual National Forest worker when its image was published in the local paper - it is, of course, not really a forest, let alone a federally official one. “The story begins at Fat Freddies, an iconic restaurant that closed and was replaced by Bering Sea Restaurant,” they explain. The Nome Nugget, “Alaska’s Oldest Newspaper,” has reported on the “Nome National Forest” from time to time over the past 25-plus years of the tradition’s existence. Are there other unofficial National Forests you know about? 🌲🎄🌳🌴🎋🌵 /hb8Cu4ZHRw
