Safe Blogging Masterpost

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!

Reblog if you're a REAL Star Trek fan.

How do you know if you’re a REAL Star Trek fan?

• You must like Star Trek • That’s it • That’s literally the only requirement for being a Star Trek fan • If you like Star Trek, you’re a REAL Star Trek fan

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.
