The “Log Off” protest is in response to the recent NSFW ban announced by Tumblr. The ban flags all content the filtering system detects as NSFW, reducing visibility to the community. The system has proven time and time again that is inefficient, oftentimes flagging SFW material as NSFW.
This SFW material includes art, memes and so on. This ban directly hurts the community and will not solve the actual problems at hand due to the poor flagging system. Because of this, the entire community will suffer.
So to respond, I propose that every user on Tumblr logs off of Tumblr for 24 hours on December 17th at 12 am EST.
Times are listed above depending on timezone!
This post responds to some very common questions about the protest. So make sure to read it over!

Thanks for your support guys. Let’s fight to make Tumblr better. Actually better.
Currently I am reading “Poetry and the Fate of the Senses” by Susan Stewart, “Love’s Labor's Lost” by William Shakespeare, “Shakespeare: the Biography” by Peter Ackroyd, “Walden” by Henry David Thoreau, and “Vintage Greene: Collected Essays” by Graham Greene.
This is, by the way normal for me. I can’t stick with one book at a time.
You know me - always curious as to what you guys are reading. So… whatcha reading? Replies enabled!
Why do long walks in nature make me so damn happy?

The actor Richard Burton playing Richard Burton. People will understand that actors of his generation are completely different than actors today. The exception of course is the actor trained on the stage as he was. Yet even these actors are not of his caliber. He makes the most mundane of topics into a drama. Today Hollywood actors are not as interesting. Nor do they even feel obliged to behave in a civil manner with the press or fans. I don’t think they even come close to this legend.
