Yahoo Will Not Restrict Tumblr’s NSFW Content Post-Acquisition
We’re sure that for the most part, you guys are well aware that Tumblr contains some NSFW material. Some of it is just good old fashion porn, while some of it we guess could be thought of as artistic nudes. Either way it’s out there and you guys probably know it. With Yahoo announcing their plans to acquire Tumblr, we’re sure many are wondering if Tumblr’s new owner might take offense to the NSFW content found on their website, and for those who frequent Tumblr for “artistic nudes”, you’re in luck because Yahoo’s CEO, Marissa Mayer, has stated that Yahoo has no plans to cull any of the restricted content on Tumblr. This was in response to a question posed to Mayer regarding some of the questionable content found on Tumblr’s website. Mayer went on to promote Tumblr’s NSFW tool which helps identify restricted content as a means to warn users about said content. This is also in line with Yahoo’s promise yesterday that they will not “screw it up” in their acquisition.
