Tumblr Censorship Controversy
Much like Facebook changing their TOS (though for very, very different reasons), Tumblr has launched a mini-controversy after suspending five users due to recent changes in their community policy.

Moses M. 4 years agoIt all depends on where the line is drawn. If those sites were indeed harassing the community and it’s members, I don’t see a problem in suspending their accounts. Sure, it’s a free place to vent, and even mock people to some class, but if it’s just blatant, rude, and borderline uncivil… what would expect other than suspension?

EpilepticMoose ಠ_ಠ 4 years agoBan Jonah!! :) But honestly, Buzzfeed is one of the few places I actually read the comments because it’s usually free of idiocy. Conversely, I can’t even look at Digg’s comments because they are 99% crap.

Jonah Peretti 4 years agoScott you are a fucking idiot!!! Why do you post moronic stuff like this on BuzzFeed everyday??!!1 Are you a fucking retard? No seriously? I think you are a retard! That is why I am seriously asking if you are one but you are probably too retarded to know you are a retard. Read this out loud to hear what you sound like when you talk: “Ah Em Sofa King Tar Tar Ted and Meh Nam Is Scott Lamb.” You just gave me an idea. There should be a test you have to pass before they allow someone to post stuff on the internet. They could call it “The Scott Lamb Retard Test” and it would be even easier than the written test they have at the DMV and you would still fail.
