Tumblr only mentions "NSFW" blogs, a category that is treated differently. Tumblr's post mentions "adult" blogs in the opening sentence, but does not go on to address the actual issue: the de-indexing of "adult" blogs, the issue with robots.txt, the removal of its "Erotica" category or the issue of walling off a significant population of its users based on content - a change from Tumblr's pre-sale sex-positive ways (such as when it launched the Erotica category in 2010). Tumblr does not say why it started doing this. The post also explains that the tag blocking around terms #gay, #lesbian and #bisexual have to do with blocking porn, a categorization that is angering LGBT people. UPDATE: Friday July 19, 6:30pm - Tumblr staff have put up this post, which addresses a glitch - and a fix - with its search for NSFW blogs. It does not make sense to reproduce Tumblr's statement here. Because it is the exact same statement (copy/pasted into its email to me) that Tumblr sent to The Daily Dot - seen in its article Tumblr Doesn't Care How You Feel About Its Porn Crusade - it answers questions specific to Daily Dot's article, and not this article. UPDATE: At approximately 9am PST Friday July 19, Tumblr's rep emailed me with a statement.

Let's just hope that Yahoo's new Tumblr isn't as free and easy with slapping on "adult" content flags as Yahoo's Flickr. You can customize the theme as per your need, you can change the color scheme and the font for your site. You will have the content section in the right and a left sidebar. The theme comes with a simple two-column design. So basically, Facebook is having a good week. Monarchy is a clean and beautiful free Tumblr theme that you can use to create your Tumblr blog. Now Karp just looks like an idiot, and Yahoo looks like it's completely untrustworthy.

When you have somebody like Terry Richardson, or any number of talented photographers, posting tasteful photography, I don't want to have to go in there and draw the line between this photo and this behind the scenes photo of Lady Gaga and her, uh, her nip. We've taken a pretty hard line on freedom of speech, supporting our users, creation, whatever that looks like, it's just not something we want to police.
