The scientific classification for the species of bat my fursona is is Ectophylla alba, which of course translates to "white and horny for ghosts"

Government has been found guilty of contempt of Parliament, Parliament has passed an amendment that they get to decide the terms of the Brexit deal, and Nigel Farage has quit UKIP. Politics is cray-cray today.

UK can stop Brexit whenever it wants without anyone's permission, says EU. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/12/04/uk/brexit-uk-eu-legal-position-gbr-intl/

@Gale Oh hey Cabot

@may *padlocks it on* >:c

@may YOU TOOK IT OFF???

@MezzoM5@mastodon.social That's fair. I just don't really see what other course of action they could take here; continuing as current leaves them open to legal consequence and is just untenable in the long term.

@MezzoM5@mastodon.social I don't think it's the wrong thing for them to do, if it's implemented as described.

It's not like Tumblr is a free for all currently. There are a few categories of otherwise legal porn that are already banned.

@MezzoM5@mastodon.social Sorry, it was meant to be taken with a pinch of humour. (Like, I'm obviously not the only person on Earth who doesn't use the site for porn.)

@MezzoM5@mastodon.social I can see why some people would consider it bad based on the assumption that Tumblr won't do it properly. I don't consider the policy inherently bad, though.

And as someone who has been involved in running user-content driven services before, this move makes sense to me from an organisational perspective.

@MezzoM5@mastodon.social Prioritising a stable income is business. Letting people look at porn is not a hill they're obliged to die on.

@megaRammy@snouts.online I do support video toots! This one is just showing an empty box D:

@megaRammy@snouts.online This toot broke my dashboard how dare you

@MezzoM5@mastodon.social They’re legally liable for pornographic content in virtually every country in the world. They need to spend time and money building features to support having it at all. They were recently penalised for failing to moderate it well.

By comparison neo-Nazi stuff only has legal implications for them in like, two countries? It doesn’t need specific work and they haven’t been penalised for it.

That’s why their focus is where it is.
