Tumblr says it is out rightly banning photos and videos that depict nudity and pornography from its sit. The new policy, which will begin December 17 generated a mixed set of reactions online. As some even put it, sexuality is a big thing on Tumblr and by banning it, they stand the risk of alienating some of their biggest communities. That said, others think the decision could actually bring about a new style of engagement and users. Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time. Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult cont...

The circulation of child pornography has been a challenge that is almost difficult to rid the net of them entirely. With the internet, it"s effortless for such material to go viral, making it practically impossible to control or delete permanently. Beyond these, the victims themselves face a lifelong stigma and confrontation with the abuse they have suffered. The circulation, consumption, and production of such gory images are criminal offenses, punishable by law.  As such, these files discovered in blockchain, the digital ledger of cryptocurrency transactions, violate privacy laws.  The discovery includes eight data with sexual content; two of the files were interlinks to over 200 other links to sexual abuse imagery.

The plan to punish porn sites in the UK who don"t comply with age verification regulations delayed further As far back as the Digital Economy Act moved toward becoming UK law this time a year ago, we"ve known there would come a period when porn sites would be constrained to check the British visitors to guarantee that it is grown-ups who have access and not minors. Shortly after, the UK"s digital minister set a due date of April 2018, and soon thereafter porn sites would need to go along or be punished by the government. We had accepted everything was on track, yet the UK government has conceded that they are nowhere close to making this happen, and now it expects age check won"t be enforceable until the maybe year"s end and that"s assuming nothing goes wrong again.
