Tumblr rolls out post filter that accidentally hides LGBTQ+ content, apologizes
There's still a big problem, though: photosets (a.k.a. multiple photos and/or gifs in a single post) automatically get marked as explicit, and the only way to reverse this is to submit them for manual inspection. However, Tumblr claims it's working on a way to improve its content evaluation algorithms and lift this restriction.
What's particularly ironic, though, is the fact that all of this happened during Pride Month, and on the platform with one of the biggest LGBTQ+ communities on the internet. However, props to Tumblr for handling the problem so quickly: the time difference between the initial Safe Mode rollout and its fix was just three days. Plus, the feature was, and still is, strictly opt-in, which means not that many users were affected by its quirks.
