Beginning on December 17th, adult content will no longer be made available on Tumblr.
The micro-blogging and photo sharing platform owned by Yahoo! announced new policies on what’s acceptable to share:

“Starting Dec 17, adult content will not be allowed on Tumblr, regardless of how old you are. You can read more about what kinds of content are not allowed on Tumblr in our Community Guidelines. …
Adult content primarily includes photos, videos, or GIFs that show real-life human genitals or female-presenting nipples, and any content—including photos, videos, GIFs and illustrations—that depicts sex acts. “
It’s the end of an era, for thousands of content publishers that depend on adult content; even legal pornography won’t be allowed, all thanks to new draconian regulations in the US related to sharing such content.
There are tens of thousands of adult Tumblr pages, and searching for “Tumblr porn” is one way to find them.
Tumblr publishers better download their archives before the deadline, and seek an alternate platform to show off their adult-oriented activities.
There goes their teenager demographic.
