Tumblr doesn’t care about Net Neutrality anymore.

Let’s take a look at some screenshots of an article I was reading earlier today…

Keyword: was. They don’t support net neutrality anymore. Why you ask? well…

Tumblr is owned by Yahoo. Now that Verizon (a company that hates net neutrality) bought Yahoo, they have demanded that Tumblr must stop supporting net neutrality too. The Tumblr staff has stopped posting about net neutrality.

This site is being forced to hate net neutrality. (article link)

Verizon hates ’net neutrality and they own Tumblr Think about it. Corporate interests now rule here. Time to go.

Running scared Wow, this is how scared Tumblr is of a competing site. They won’t even let me see my own post with this tag. I can comprehend, even if I don’t fully agree with (since it knocked out safe communities here where people were expressing themselves), Verizon’s clamp-down on pornographic content, because it feels there were some moral grounds. But to censor based on corporate agenda because you don’t like a competitor? That’s Google territory. All this does is encourage people to check it out—and I totally encourage you all to.

Pontiac Tempest GT-37 Sport Coupé, 1970. An appearance and handling package available for a short time on two different intermediate A-body Pontiacs. For an extra $198 Pontiac offered Rally II wheels with white letter tires, heavy-duty suspension, dual exhausts, a floor-mounted 3-speed manual with a Hurst shifter and striping from ’69 GTO The Judge. When the Tempest was discontinued during 1970 the pack was carried over to the Pontiac LeMans Coupé but was then replaced in 1972 by the LeMans Sport

GT-37 Always thought this was a nice package. Kind of a cut-price Goat (at least visually). And this was always the nicest shape for the intermediates. The Colonnade theme—which, when you think about it, also infected the Vauxhall Viva (HC) and Victor (FE)—was characterless in my eyes.

a handful of french billionaires have pledged 600+ million euros for Notre Dame in less than 12 hours. let that put into perspective how easily billionaires could end world hunger, poverty, lack of access to healthcare/clean water/education but choose not to. 600+ million in twelve hours from just 3 people

Priorities Once again, the rich get what they want and the rest of us don’t.
