Tumblr to ban all pornography in major policy reversal

Tumblr will ban all adult content, it has said. The decision is a major reversal for a company that partly made its name for the relative availability of explicit content on its site. The ban will cover just about anything that could be known as explicit, it said. "Adult content primarily includes 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," it wrote in its announcement. Uber has halted testing of driverless vehicles after a woman was killed by one of their cars in Tempe, Arizona.
