Tumblr has recently been going on a suspending spree and many innocent bloggers have had their blogs taken away. This is including both dietandcigarettes and 88istheperfectweight. Neither of these blogs were promoting or glorifying eating disorders. They, as well as others were merely using tumblr as a diary, a way to reach out to others, and for others to reach out to them. Tumblr needs to know that we as a community will not tolerate their recklessness. By suspending blogs like these, many girls (and boys) will be away from their support systems. Tumblr needs a better system to determine whether or a not a blog is promoting eating disorders because what they are doing right now is causing more harm than good. We are asking that they do more research into a person's blog before assuming they are pro-eating disorder (like reading disclaimers), and from this we as a community also demand they give bloggers who had their blogs taken away back. If tumblr is going to suspend accounts, they need to give out at least a 48 hour warning so that the person may delete the so called content that is voilating tumblr policy. By immediately suspending the blog without warning, not only is the person not able to reach out to other bloggers to let them know what it going on, they have no way of keeping their blog from being deactivated. So to conclude, tumblr users are demanding that tumblr comes up with a better system of determining blogs that violate policy, give a 48 hour notice if a blog is going to be suspended, and give back blogs that were wrongfully taken away (including dietandcigarettes and 88istheperfectweight).

The petition reached 1,000 signatures today. I am now compiling these names into a formal document to be delivered to the Tumblr policy department. My next move involves coordinating with an attorney to draft a letter outlining the specific harms caused by the current suspension process.

The volume of support shifted the status of this issue significantly. I have requested a formal meeting with the Tumblr policy department to discuss their automated moderation triggers. Documentation of individual wrongful suspensions is currently being organized for that presentation.

We are approaching the one hundred signature milestone which serves as the threshold for our formal request to Tumblr's support lead. Reaching this target today allows us to trigger the next phase of our correspondence. Focus efforts on distributing the link to ensure we cross this marker before the end of the day.

48 hours notice is the absolute bare minimum they can do. their current system is lazy and it hurts way more people than it helps.

give them back their blogs. its a diary not a platform for hate. so unfair to cut people off from their friends without even a warning.

Tumblr is being ridiculous. People have a right to talk about their struggles without being shut down and ghosted by the site. Fix this.

This is ridiculous. I had my blog taken down without any notification. I wasn't doing anything against the rules and now I lost everything.
