In the latest misguided effort by a tech company to keep always-connected-to-everything-on-the-internet-mobile-supercomputers-with-built-in-camcorders from becoming "porn machines", Tumblr has banned the search terms #gay, #lesbian, and #bisexual from their mobile app. To be fair to Tumblr and their parent company Yahoo!, this is most likely done to meet the overly-strict requirements set in place by app stores, with Apple's being the most notoriously heavy-handed. But on the other hand, the Tumblr app has been live for a while and this ban is brand new, suggesting that Tumblr's new owners are seemingly unable to recognize that not everything related to sex and sexuality is porn or "adult content." Slate has the report.
