Tumblr will now allow nudity again

Tumblr, the once-popular social media platform, is again allowing nudity, four years after announcing a ban on explicit content.

“We now welcome a broader range of expression, creativity, and art on Tumblr, including content depicting the human form (yes, that includes the naked human form),” the company wrote in a blog post on Tuesday.

That content, according to the company, can include “nudity, mature subject matter, or sexual themes,” as long as those posts are tagged with the appropriate community labels, a system Tumblr rolled out in September. However, as the post noted, “visual depictions of sexually explicit acts remain off-limits on Tumblr.”

The announcement amounted to an about-face for the company, which banned sexually explicit content in 2018. It defined the banned content at the time as 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.”

After the ban, Tumblr lost about a third of its users, accelerating a decline for the sharing and blogging site. There has since been renewed interest in Tumblr in recent years, especially among younger people. Of the 135 million monthly users, 48 percent are members of Generation Z, according to the company.
