App Store removal and adult-content ban
Apple removed Tumblr’s iOS application after prohibited child-exploitation material was found on the service. Tumblr responded with a broad adult-content prohibition. The policy was criticized for affecting lawful adult art, sexuality-related expression, and LGBTQ+ communities, while also illustrating the platform’s struggle to moderate a large and open publishing network.
