Well, OP said "banned," which it is clearly not as there are loads of images of it floating around everywhere.

There are definitely valid free speech threats that are non-governmental. I'm just not sure people complaining on Tumblr counts as a valid free speech threat, though. Likely it was a marketing decision at some level, and probably a sensible one given the target market.

Sure I'd agree that tumblr probably isn't a major threat. I just don't think the argument that people use holds that well. (and I'm also not sure the point about market pressure holds tbh)

Well, there's that, and I think that economic forces are probably the single greatest threat to free speech, at least in the developed world. But I think the distinction needs to be made, as people pointing out problematic things often gets attacked as censorship, which it isn't.

Such as a major bank pulling the strings at The Telegraph to kill emerging stories about a banking scandal.

Like that, yeah. Tumblristas don't have that kind of pull.

""""""""probably""""""" isn't

A one in a trillion chance is still a chance, nonny.

I mean, who knows? Maybe tomorrow tumblr takes over the brains of all its users and the resulting gestalt mind being becomes tyrannical ruler of the earth. I bet you feel pretty silly if that happened, wouldn't you?

If that happened I wouldn't feel anything that the hivemind didn't want me to feel, because it would have taken over my brain...
