Archivists Say Tumblr IP Banned Them For Trying to Preserve Adult Content
https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/d3bekm/archivists-say-tumblr-ip-banned-them-for-trying-to-preserve-adult-content Following a ban on adult content, archivists raced to save Tumblr's NSFW communities--but some say the platform tried to stop them. - - - Maybe Verizon -- aka "General Telephone" -- should have paid attention to their disastrous expensive purchase of Yahoo (the resulting "Oath" is already being dismantled by Verizon with a massive write-down) rather than worry about porn on Tumblr. Of course Tumblr will now fade into oblivion. And a two week notification for their ban? What was their big rush? There's more to this story than we know, you can bank on it. Many of those sites have now reportedly moved en masse to another provider, even maintaining their old names in many cases. Meanwhile, racists, sexists, antisemites, and other white trash Trump supporters thrive on Verizon sites. I wonder why?
