Since Tumblr is purging fan accounts from every fandom I thought I’d make a master post of resources for safe blogging.
What we know so far:
This started with Backgrid and Splash New using reverse image search through a third party to protect their photos.
It was first limited to paparazzi photos, events, red carpets and set photos.
However now it is rumored to be extended to other stuff like celebrity photoshoots etc.
A better, proper explanation here.
FAQs:
Rebloging is fine, only the original post will get flagged and deleted.
You get three strikes for copyright infringement and then your blog gets terminated.
If your main blog gets terminated, then all your sideblogs go, no matter if you are a member or an admin.
If you get warnings for your sideblog then only the sideblog gets terminated.
Notes or no notes, if you have posted anything from the above category, it will be flagged.
It’s not limited only to the United States, it’s happening internationally.
If your edit is a part of a larger graphic and different form the original offending photo you’re probably safe.
It’s not limited to one fandom, everyone is being effected from Marvel, to Musicians, to WWE, EVERYONE.
Gifs are fine, only copyrighted images are under scrutiny.
Protective Measures:
The best option so far is to delete any photos you posted (POSTED, not reblogged).
Like I mentioned above it was limited to only paparazzi photos but now it’s rumoured to be extended to everything that was not posted by the celebrity themselves.
If you’re very attached to your edit, changing the post to “private” may help (but probably not for very long.)
This is an excellent post about how to buy some time to delete posts or to protect your blog.
This website hides all of your reblogs so you can use it to see all your original post and delete the offending ones. (Also mentioned in the above post)
You can also take a backup of your blog by going to tumblr.com/settings/blog/your url and clicking on Export at the bottom of the page.
@captainevanss has answered many asks on this, please go through her blog before sending another ask, she has answered every possible question there is.
Future Blogging:
If you post photos in future remember to save it as a new post and remove existing EXIF details before posting through third party apps (via @tessathompsson and @steven-rogers)
Some excelent tips for future safe blogging
I’ll keep adding more info. Stay safe kids, hope you don’t get snapped!
I was nominated against my father and I lost to him, my dad was not there so I had to go up and accept the award. Alicia Vikander was the lady handing out the trophy and she was standing there in horror because she thought that I had heard the wrong name and was strutting up because I thought that I had won. That was one of the most awkward experiences of my life.
Unless I missed something, this is the only time Shivers is wrong. It’s not supposed to be; Shivers is the spirit of the city describing itself to you as a matter of fact. When it says there won’t ever be a club for anodic dance music in the church, it does so because it’s the metaphysical truth… …except it isn’t. Fueled by his complete desire to BUST A MOVE, Harry makes possible what shouldn’t be — and for the briefest of moments, a true anodic music club *does* exist where it *cannot* exist. For the entire game, you’re a receiver for Shivers. You can tune into its different frequencies with varying degrees of control over the process, but it’s always one-way communication. Until this very moment, where against all odds, you transmit a message back. Shivers says, “there will never be a club for anodic music here”, and you bark back, “oh yeah? Fucking watch me”. And so it watches as something impossible happens, as you prove it wrong — and so it reveals itself to you as La Revacholière, for it understands you might be the only entity to ever exist that can heed its warning and save it from its fate. The moral of this story is that through anodic music and **busting moves** you, too, can change the universe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knOXppaqBYY
A nice clean version of the photo I put up just now. “No more Regency Silver Snuffboxes.” They are shooting it as I type this. And oh, they are wonderful.
Reblog this on the first of the month for good luck all month long!
A gentile vampire turns a promising Torah scholar into a vampire. Is the scholar still permitted to study Torah? Are they still under the yoke of the mitzvot? How does vampirism impact observant Jewish practice? Are they still Jewish, or are they apostates? Would it be permissible for the scholar to turn other people into vampires to cure them of terminal illnesses?
To what degree are Jewish werewolves morally responsible for their actions while under the influence of the full moon? What must they do if they eat treyf in their wolf form?
If, for some reason, we must leave earth for another inhabitable planet on the other side of the galaxy, what do we do about holidays and observing Shabbat? Would we go by earth time or local time? What if this planet has no moon or more than one moon? How would we face Jerusalem to pray?
Can aliens convert to Judaism? If so, does it only apply to humanoid aliens like the greys, or would reptilian aliens and ilithids be able to convert too?
Can sentient machines like the Terminator convert to Judaism? What about Agents from The Matrix?
Speaking of The Matrix, are we still obligated to obey the mitzvot even if we are literally brains in jars or living in a simulated reality created by computer programs? What happens if we’re freed and whatever basis for our Jewish identity we had is no longer present or certain. Are we still Jews? Do we still have a covenant?
