For everyone interested in signing the petition floating around, and for everyone interested in logging out of tumblr for 24 hours, like another post is saying, I’ve got one question:

If staff doesn’t act on this, what are you willing to do?

If your answer is “Delete my account”, then by all means, go on.

If your answer is “I don’t know” or “Nothing”, then I would ask you to reconsider.

The truth is that tumblr/staff/verizon probably will not listen to any petition. They will not be actively hurt by seeing any number of people being against them as long as they are still on tumblr. They will not be actively hurt by anyone logging off of tumblr for 24 hours as long as they log back in later. As long as the accounts are on tumblr, they will not be hurt. The only way to actively hurt tumblr/staff/verizon is to remove your tumblr.

This post explains why.

Please share this, please reconsider taking a passive approach. It’s a very hard decision to make, to remove your tumblr, but they are forcing our hands and we need to act. They will benefit from us being passive. We need to be active.

There needs to be a consequence.
