Pro-Palestinian Censorship

The mass censorship of Palestinian and Pro-Palestinian voices is unacceptable. From Tiktok (who has confirmed it's not their algorithm that makes people support Palestine, tiktokers just DO support Palestine) to Tumblr (who has repeatedly censored tags relating to Palestine) we have seen mass & constant censorship.

It was only until recently (read: when Israel got taken to court for genocide charges) that Palestine-related tags stopped being censored. Why is talk about Palestine's genocide censored, while Ukraine tags get to lounge in the "staff picks" section?

It's performative. Tumblr (the company) does NOT care about Ukraine and would cheer on the bloodshed in Palestine. The people of these platforms, however, have made their stance clear.

Free Palestine and fuck you, @staff

Not only did @photomatt censor a Kung Pow Penis, but he also blocked me. When I tried to reblog how my previous post was deleted, Tumblr said it failed to reblog. Instantaneously.

Here’s all I said:

I posted this at 12:45 AM. Six hours later I come back to see it gone. Way to go, Matt 👏👏👏

Anyways, stay safe everyone!

Update 2: He’s trying to do damage control (if you want my opinion on this YouTuber style apology, this person really put it well)

Update 3: Apparently I can’t add tags to my reblog that has addition information, but you should be able to see it here

Goodbye

 Hi.

When tumblr deleted my blog originally it was quite strange, with them suddenly censoring every picture in a  flurry of administrative activity. The last day i would get a notice of adult content literally every 30 seconds before my blog disappeared, It didn’t matter what the picture was, Edward Hopper, some birds, a picture of a butterfly, it was all adult according to them. This happened to others on a level that seemed far more mild. I would google my blog and find tumblrs where the only content that had been censored was mine, Some people said it was the open letter I wrote to tumblr about their polices that afforded me this special treatment, but I have no idea.

I had backed up a lot of stuff but i was unable to repost it here because it was all marked adult. That’s 40K pictures I had but i was unable to reblog.

Since there was still a lot of my content around, I eventually started posting infrequently again. Lots of my gifs and some other stuff was still making the rounds.

This week it’s all gone, purged from tumblr in a move that tumblr will never admit to because they don't mention it. Here’s a link  to my popular and PG gif from La belle Noiseuse. Invisible.

I see pictures 10 years old from other deleted bogs but you wont find things from mine anymore. My very PG gif from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, gone. My letter to tumblr, gone. The censored stuff in my queue that I mostly can’t post is there but nothing on the tumblr anymore. When tumblr starts deleting your text posts, it’s time to go.

For whatever reason tumblr wants me gone, and that’s fine. People have been writing asking why I deleted stuff that was on their tumblrs, and sorry everyone, it’s not me.

Tumblr should admit to purging blogs selectively, but I suspect they never will. Never have they admitted previous mistakes or fixed them.

I only really came back to make an archive but now 60% of that archive is gone.Tumblr won.  I should have learned my lesson the first time. Better late than never.

Ok its pretty clear that Tumblr is messing with the trending tags first of all Palestine isn't showing up even though it carries the weight of almost all posts tagged Gaza Israel and Middle East but also because there is no way this hellsite could stay THIS consistent for THIS long

Tumblr’s been flagging me for pictures I posted 6-7 years ago.  My initial reaction was just to say I am never posting here again. Tumblr has plenty of porn, nazis and dangerous people and the game of deleted some picture I could have seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with my mother because their dumb fucking algorithm says it’s obscene, is a game i don’t really feel like playing. 

The pictures in question are by Francesca Woodman and Masao Yamamoto, two photographers that are in hundreds of museums. 

I did write tumblr about it, but it seems the days have past where you have communication with real people. 

My extreme annoyance aside, I do feel some responsibility for my followers who have been putting up with me since 2013 and can be very kind and supportive. I’ve made friends on tumblr and I appreciate them. I hate to just leave but I don’t wish to fight an uphill battle where I have to check each post to make sure it’s approved and then I get flagged as adult and my archive goes dark forever. This is issue is also complicated because a few blogs are on this account. If they were to delete me, so would go other things that I fear losing records of.

The idea that I am even here discussing how I can’t post an Edward Weston photo seems absurd. 

Today, it appeared someone stranger sent me a gift of the ad-free thing. A very nice and unexpected gesture. Anyway, those are my thoughts right now, thanks for reading.

(Pinterest TOS post- if this image is flagged here too it will just make my point even more concrete- that the sites we all frequent just want to erase literal reality)

So we all know censorship/TOS changes amongst the internet love to cause removal of LGBTQ+ content no matter if it’s “adult content” or not- Tumblr and Pinterest specifically come to mind.

These two websites remove content related to that demographic like it’s their fking drug of choice to do so.

And this pisses me off of course- having people be told their content is a violation just brings up the fact society thinks they’re a violation. They do this while allowing those bots that I won’t mention by name to swarm us in abundance.

But I don’t post queer content- I consume it, but have never been very involved in the internet community related to it. Yesterday, though it’s happened before, I felt what it’s like being told my experience is a violation, and this time something snapped inside of me:

Pinterest alerted me I violated their TOS of “adult content” with this image:

“Amanda and her cousin, Amy” by Mary Ellen Clark. 1990 Valdese, North Carolina

Let’s move past the fact their claiming two 9 year olds in bathing suits is “adult content” and look at the bigger picture- I violated their TOS by adding a photo to a board that was taken by a very well known photographer across the globe for street + social photography. A photo that doesn’t have any “adult content” in it, and instead is documenting the way a lot of kids outside of the pretty suburbs live.

The photographer of this photo documented children who lived lives most of you couldn’t even fathom; ones who sold themselves on the street and ones who had babies while the rest of their age group was playing Nintendo or chatting about George Michael’s hair at a sleepover.

I was so excited and in awe when I saw the photo above: for the very first time in my life, I saw a photo of two kids that reminded me of myself. The life I lived, while the rest of my age group lived in their pretty suburbia & had mommy + daddy home everyday to cater to their every need. I saw through not only this photo but many others in her series, my life in beautiful pictures- I never really realized I hadn’t until this moment.

This photo, and the others surrounding Mary Ellen Mark’s work, document the lives so many people/kids like me lived within: they document the reality typical society can’t bear to look at. God forbid you look at us and really take us in- we’re just oh so shameful, right?

Just like the LGBTQ+ content tumblr and Pinterest love to censor, remove, block- our lives fucking existed. Children like this? They existed and currently still exist. Just because it doesn’t fit your world view doesn’t mean you can remove it… maybe if sites left photos like this alone, someone could come along and go “wow… she’s like me” just as I had the opportunity to do. Maybe they could gain the opportunity to realize that they’re not shameful to society- they too, are just a part of it as the kids they go to school with.

For the first time in my life, my childhood was displayed in someone’s photography and for the first time, I didn’t feel so alone.

So fuck you Pinterest, and thank you Mary Ellen Mark💗
