Tumblr (who’s parent company is Oath) booted from App Store due to child porn
December 16, 2018PNT commentary: As of current – ALL pornography has been banned from Tumblr. It’s important that the American pornography industry realize that by having condoned people linked to child pornography for many years, they’ve shot themselves in the foot. Those involved in the cover up are being named (and will be punished).
Tumblr’s app was booted out of the iOS App Store a few days ago due to an issue with child pornography getting its way past the app’s filtering technology, according to a report from CNET, which Tumblr then confirmed.
The app’s disappearance was first spotted on November 16, and Tumblr’s help documentation had also confirmed the company was “working to resolve an issue with its iOS app.” The statement said Tumblr hoped to have it fully functional again soon.
However, Tumblr nor Apple had said what the issue was until CNET confirmed through sources it was related to child pornography.
Tumblr then released a statement which explained that it discovered content during an audit that wasn’t included in the industry database it was using to filter out child sex abuse material from appearing in its app.
