Yahoo Censors Tumblr Porn

coolnumbr12 writes "When Yahoo purchased Tumblr in May, Tumblr founder David Karp said Tumblr wouldn't be changing, and Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer said, 'Part of our strategy here is to let Tumblr be Tumblr.' But a new search policy went into effect Thursday that excludes all adult blogs from Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines by disabling indexing of anything it tags as 'adult.' The policy effectively makes the content and 10 percent of Tumblr users completely invisible."

Improvement.

Rendering 10% of Tumblr invisible is an improvement and a great start. Please get to work on the other 90%, too.

Be fair - it's hard to think up cogent analogies for other situations when you're inside a welded box that's been encased in concrete.

I'm surprised he's got any Internet access in there at all, frankly. I'll have to figure out how that happened before the next time.
