Tumblr just added a switch in the iOS Settings that lets you turn the porn back on
Posted yesterday by Sarah Perez (@sarahintampa)

Here?s an interesting change: Tumblr?s iOS application just received an update which now lets you turn on or off adult-oriented, NSFW search results just by toggling a switch in iOS?s Settings. That?s right: you can now switch on or off the Tumblr porn with ease. Weirder still, Tumblr?s note about the change in the App Store update text says this was implemented ?per Apple?s content guidelines.?

Why is that weird?

Because Apple?s developer guidelines ? at least today ? explicitly tell app developers not to do this sort of thing.

While Apple has never permitted explicit apps whose sole purpose is to serve pornography, it long ago carved out an exception for social networks hosting user-generated content, provided they agreed to filter and hide the NSFW content by default.

This is an issue that greatly impacts Tumblr, given that its blogging network is actually composed of a lot of porn. In fact, according to website analytics service SimilarWeb, ?adult? content is the top category that drives direct clicks to Tumblr?s desktop site, accounting for 20.53% of clicks, compared with the next-largest referring category, ?books and literature,? which drove just 7.61% of clicks.

Tumblr has always had NSFW content, saying that its policy about this sort of material is a ?live-and-let-live? kind of thing, but it draws the line at actually hosting sexually explicit videos. (Embed them, it says.)

To be allowed into the iTunes App Store, Tumblr has had to filter out and hide this content in its iOS app by default. There?s a loophole, though ? as I?m sure many of you know.

According to Apple?s App Store Review Guidelines, apps like Tumblr are allowed to show the NSFW content if the user turns the setting on via the service?s website.

The most logical explanation for this sort of change is that Apple will allow this setting to be locked down via its parental controls at some point. That?s not the case right now, though.

Under ?Settings? ?> ?General? ?> ?Restrictions,? you can block the kids from using Apple?s built-in apps, block app downloads, and can block apps based on their current rating. (Tumblr is rated 17+, for example). However, there is not a way to force something like a Safe Search toggle switch to remain on.

I'm sure they're definitely regretting it. Porn content is the #1 thing on tumblr, other than feminists. Kinda ironic.
