Looks like Tumblr is done with nudity. It was just a matter of time, if you ask me. Yahoo might have been willing to turn a blind eye, but there's no way Verizon was going to keep going that way.
And like Google+ before it, they picked a flimsy excuse to make such sweeping changes. Where Google decided a security breach was enough to shutter the Ploos, Verizon decided one case of child pornography was enough to shut down all nudity posts, not just the one account.
