Tumblr is banning blogs?
Tumblr announced today that they were going to make every attempt possible to shut down blogs that promote self-harm…
1. Implement a new policy against pro-self-harm blogs. Here’s draft language we are planning to add to our Content Policy:
Active Promotion of Self-Harm. Don’t post content that actively promotes or glorifies self-injury or self-harm. This includes content that urges or encourages readers to cut or mutilate themselves; embrace anorexia, bulimia, or other eating disorders; or commit suicide rather than, e.g., seek counseling or treatment for depression or other disorders. Online dialogue about these acts and conditions is incredibly important; this prohibition is intended to reach only those blogs that cross the line into active promotion or glorification.
Why has there been so much protest to such a positive step forward?
Will this new policy reduce the awareness of issues surrounding self-harm? No! In fact, in theory it should increase awareness. Anyone searching for tags that relate to self-harm will be directed towards places where they can seek help.
Will this new policy effect Tumblr overall? No! I have even seen one individual claim that the website will lose 40% of its bloggers as a result of this policy.
It is important to remember that Tumblr is only shutting down the blogs that promote or glorify self-harm in any form, rather than those simply mentioning it in passing. Self-harm is a serious problem for many people and I am glad that steps are being made to stop the encouragement and glorification that are found so easily on the web.
