Claim: Yahoo claimed on Twitter that they would be filtering out explicit content on Tumblr. Verdict
Claim: Yahoo claimed on Twitter that they would be filtering out explicit content on Tumblr. Verdict: FALSE Google and Twitter searches cannot locate this Tweet, just reactions to it. In fact, a day before this supposed Tweet was made Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer stated that she admired the diversity of content on Tumblr (including “not…brand safe” material, a oblique reference to pornography) and reiterated that Tumblr would operate as a independent company. Finally, while Tumblr has introduced optional NSFW filtering of tags and marked certain blogs “NSFW” pornography has remained intact since the May post-date of this supposed Tweet. -- source link
