FLASHBACK: How NOT to Promote Vaccines

By Miriam Kleiman, Public Affairs

During this largest vaccination drive in history, we again look to history for guidance on public outreach.

DOs and DON'Ts:

DON'T show crying babies!  Certainly not those who need to be held down by mom and two soldiers!

DON'T show the Grim Reaper grabbing an innocent child!

DON'T show animal testing!

DON'T show miserable shot recipients!

DON'T show labs that look like prison kitchens or coffee bars!

DO accentuate the POSITIVE!

Vaccinations can be fun! Employees receive Typhoid vaccine, 3/31/1945, Newport News, VA, NARA ID 138926831.

Smiles, Everyone. SMILES! Ricardo Montalbán, Fantasy Island

#NationalDogDay: Charlie, one of our family dogs, passed away last week from a gradual paralysis. Charlie was a wonderful Yorkshire. Charlie walked around and hung out with everyone enjoying their company. I loved dog-sitting this great guy. I can see why people adore their pets. Paradise is open to all animals, as they say. 🐶 Charlie, uno de los perros de nuestra familia, falleció la semana pasada de una parálisis gradual. Charlie era un Yorkshire maravilloso. Caminó y pasó el rato con todos disfrutando la compañía de una persona. Me encantaba cuidar de este chico. Puedo ver por qué la gente ama sus mascotas. El Paraíso está abierto a todos los animales, como dicen. 🐶 #Charlie (at Indio, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEXvfXwhAVi/?igshid=1i16rho6cmvz9

Hey Tumblr,

With the 2020 United States Presidential Election on our horizon, we wanted to proactively beef up our Community Guidelines to stymie any political interference. 

There’s precedent—not paranoia—backing this decision. In 2016, the Internet Research Agency or IRA (a group with close ties to Russian intelligence)  was found to have created hundreds of fake accounts across most social media platforms, including Tumblr. Their sole objective was—is!—to sow dangerous seeds of misinformation. The declassified DNI report refers to the IRA as “professional trolls.”

These “professional trolls” are not welcome on Tumblr, and we wanted our Community Guidelines to reflect that. We clarified our “Confusion or Impersonation” section by renaming it “Impersonation and Non-Genuine Behavior,” specifying that impersonating a public official is not allowed. Parody? Totally fine. Pretending to be Bill de Blasio to spread false info about NYC? Absolutely not fine. Also, it doesn’t even sound fun.

We also added a whole new section on integrity:

“Election Integrity. You may not use Tumblr to defraud nor impede the integrity of the United States Census or local, regional, or national public office elections. Bottom line: do not create or promote content designed to suppress, intimidate, or confuse voters or U.S. census participants. This includes spreading false information about how to vote, when to vote, or where to vote.” 

The last addition we made to our Community Guidelines reads as follows: “Repeat violations of our Community Guidelines may result in permanent blog or account suspension.” This is not a new policy—it’s just reworded to make our stance as clear-cut as possible: We do not tolerate repeat violators of our Community Guidelines.

Democracy requires transparency and honesty. If we are made aware of any targeted disinformation campaigns on Tumblr from the IRA or groups like them, we will swiftly take action. We have a moral obligation to you, ourselves, and the future of democracy to do whatever is within our power.

If you want to help combat misinformation, check out this video on @world-wide-what for some helpful tips, share this infographic by Tumblr Creatr Ellis van der Does (@ellisvanderdoes) for the National Association for Media Literacy Education (@medialiteracyed), and please (please!) make sure you are registered to vote. 

Stay safe, Tumblr.

@Tokyo.Central has riddles (“なぞなぞ) in their queues to think about and solve while waiting six feet apart. These are interesting. Riddle 1: What is it that given one, you’ll have either one or two?
