Because of course they did.

So where are these archives that were collected? Asking for a friend…

Looks like they ended up at https://archive.org:

I see the bots are still malfunctioning. But I don’t see any ethical way they could be functioning.

So critcism of the platform is a violation? Where have I seen that shit before?

MarjaE · January 19, 2019, 5:29pm

I think it’s a bot detecting the word “vagina”. If so, a lot of health information will go…

I hate this world where “female presenting nipples” are somehow terrible and racism is cool.

Fuck Tumblr.

Amazon is joining the club.

More SESTA/FOSTA crap, sounds like.

When it starts to hit popular porn sites more, maybe the laws will be rewritten.

I’m not sure about that.

A lot of (especially US-based) online companies have recently started to focus on international compliance, especially with regards to China and the Middle East. SESTA/FOSTA provides a great excuse for making one’s platform available to another couple of billion users while avoiding the stink of accusations of censorship to appease foreign governments.

Google hit a wall of resistance when they tried to censor the search engine to move into China. Learning from those mistakes, SESTA/FOSTA presents an opportunity for other companies to make themselves compliant in foreign territories without criticism.

If I were going to be especially cynical, I would argue that something as flawed as SESTA/FOSTA would never have been enacted by conservative m(b)illionaires without that being the entire end game.

Lobbying is a wonderful thing.

Maybe they mistook it for Uranus.

That there’s definitely a butt crack. Yep.

Hairy.

CleverEmi · April 10, 2019, 8:51pm

Really? I see tattoo’d boobs. Kind of a blurry tat, but one of mine is 20+ years old and getting to that fuzzed out stage.

kxkvi · April 10, 2019, 9:33pm

I’ll just have to stare at it some more to decide.

Actually, Tumblr should have to let the photographer know exactly what the AI thought it was.

Rule 34 is gonna get even weirder with AIs involved.
