with tumblr suppressing the palestine tag and pushing pro-zionist propaganda through their ads, the least people here can do is disable their checkmarks/badges and stop buying more
can't speak to the tags thing but tumblr is definitely not pushing pro-zionist propaganda via ads because that's just not how ads work. ad space is bought and sold through a series of automated auctions that occur in less than a fraction of a second (highest bidder wins), which means nasty shit has a way of slipping through undetected—so if you see ads promoting hate speech or violence, these advertisers are violating tumblr's terms of service and you should absolutely report their asses to get them taken down and banned for good
I've seen at least one response to this along the lines of "okay it's still tumblr's fault for not screening ads though" and unfortunately that is ALSO not how ads work lol. when ads are bought and sold in real-time auctions, it's up to the advertisers (and the marketplaces who work with advertisers) to tag the ad according to one of several IAB content categories and subcategories—for example, IAB9-25 - Roleplaying Games.
publishers like tumblr can and do select what types of ads are displayed on their website based on these categories. for example, a website that hosts math games for kids might block the subcategory IAB7-11 - Cancer because it's not appropriate for their audience, and a website for music lovers might prioritize the subcategory IAB9-16 - Guitar / Keyboard / Drums because it is, in fact, extremely appropriate for their audience.
there are also two specific categories for "non-standard content" (IAB25) and "illegal content" (IAB26). most websites will rightfully choose to block ads tagged with IAB25-2 - Extreme Graphic / Explicit Violence.
but the problem here is that advertisers are the ones tagging their own ads! so if I'm a malicious advertiser, I'm either going to lie and tag my violent ad as something innocuous like IAB17-27 - Ice Hockey, or I won't tag my ad at all.
publishers (and the marketplaces who work with publishers) do not like when this happens and will often sever ties with the parties involved... if they find out about it. unfortunately ad analytics is a nightmare industry, and that's just measuring ads after the fact; trying to crack down on bad ads before they slip through is very difficult, especially since a single ad space can change hands three, five, seven times between the time it's auctioned off and the time it's sold and an ad is displayed.
which is why you should report harmful ads! not only will they (eventually) get taken down, but the advertiser behind them may also get banned from the platforms they do business with... at least until they try to change their tactics and operate under a new identity, or until another bad actor springs up to take their place. it's a constant struggle
i don't really know how to relay the horrors that palestinians are describing first-hand, if you can speak arabic and follow people from gaza online there are some phrases i don't think anyone will forget, some things for the arabic-speaking world will scar for life just like muhammed al-durra scarred me as a child. at least five of the people i followed since last week (journalists, photographers, students, artists, tiktokers) are dead now. it's becoming terrifying to follow someone from gaza, because you don't know if they're going to be alive tomorrow. i don't really know how to describe this feeling? what is it to follow some kid on tiktok who's making jokes while planes drop bombs around him and think "i hope he stays alive?"
for those of you who don't speak arabic, there are many many palestinians in gaza posting updates in english:
many of them are also translating other posts from arabic. you can follow them on twitter.
there are also many gazans reporting from gaza and recording vlogs in english for an international audience that you can follow on instagram
(yara eid is the only one who is not physically present in gaza, but her family is and recently lost her best friend, the photojournalist Ibraheem Lafi in the strikes. she has lots of good and informative videos & interviews on the situation)
please note that these are people living through an actual siege and genocide, experiencing hell on earth for the past fifteen days with no relief and risking their lives to even get these occasional messages through. the content they share is not easy to watch and even more difficult to forget.
