Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

by the way also, since staff's instructions aren't especially clear it's here in your blog settings (on browser select your blog and then blog settings on the right)

The screen looks like this:

then scroll aaaall the way to the bottom:

This does not apply universally across your account, you need to do this for each of your Tumblr Blogs individually.

I had a post that I deleted but self-immolating is the most desperate, pleading act of protest, and it's been employed in environmental activism, civil rights, genocide activism. What a vicious world we live in that the bravest and most heartbroken of us will light themselves on fire, only to have their deaths unheard or ignored by the people who need it hear it most?

[fridgebride]

because in cases of self immolation it is perhaps most important to amplify the cause for which they are committing the act, here’s what the protestor in dc had to say.

[ID: In a live stream video, the protestor stated, “I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it is not extreme at all.”

The protestor ended their statements to the camera with: “This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.” /End ID]

(protestor is currently in critical condition according to the dc metro police dpt)

[colorisbyshe]

he has passed away from his injuries. source.

that tweet IS in a thread with video of this protest. he is blurred when the fire begins but it is an extremely harrowing watch, especially as you see him collapse to the ground as cops train guns on him. you hear him scream in pain as a cop demands he comply with orders.

it should never have come to this.

[antiwaradvocates]

“My name is Aaron Bushnell. I am an active duty member of the United States Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. Free Palestine.”

—Aaron Bushnell

“The act of an American soldier sacrificing himself for Palestine is the highest sacrifice […] a poignant message to the American administration to stop its involvement in the aggression.”

—PFLP Central Media Dept.
