FYI artists and writers: some info regarding tumblr's new "third-party sharing" (aka selling your content to OpenAI and Midjourney)

You may have already seen the post by @staff regarding third-party sharing and how to opt out. You may have also already seen various news articles discussing the matter.

But here's a little further clarity re some questions I had, and you may too. Caveat: Not all of this is on official tumblr pages, so it's possible things may change.

(1) "I heard they already have access to my data and it doesn't really matter if I opt out"

From the 404 article:

A new FAQ section we reviewed is titled “What happens when you opt out?” states “If you opt out from the start, we will block crawlers from accessing your content by adding your site on a disallowed list. If you change your mind later, we also plan to update any partners about people who newly opt-out and ask that their content be removed from past sources and future training.”

So please, go click that opt-out button.

(2) Some future user: "I've been away from tumblr for months, and I just heard about all this. I didn't opt out before, so does it make a difference anymore?"

Another internal document shows that, on February 23, an employee asked in a staff-only thread, “Do we have assurances that if a user opts out of their data being shared with third parties that our existing data partners will be notified of such a change and remove their data?” Andrew Spittle, Automattic’s head of AI replied: “We will notify existing partners on a regular basis about anyone who's opted out since the last time we provided a list. I want this to be an ongoing process where we regularly advocate for past content to be excluded based on current preferences. We will ask that content be deleted and removed from any future training runs. I believe partners will honor this based on our conversations with them to this point. I don't think they gain much overall by retaining it.”

It should make a difference! Go click that button.

(3) "I opted out, but my art posts have been reblogged by so many people, and I don't know if they all opted out. What does that mean for my stuff?"

This answer is actually on the support page for the toggle:

This option will prevent your blog's content, even when reblogged, from being shared with our licensed network of content and research partners, including those that train AI models.

And some further clarification by the COO and a product manager:

zingring: A couple people from work have reached out to let me know that yes, it applies to reblogs of "don't scrape" content. If you opt out, your content is opted out, even in reblog form. cyle: yep, for reblogs, we're taking it so far as "if anybody in the reblog trail has opted out, all of the content in that reblog will be opted out", when a reblog could be scraped/shared.

So not only your reblogged posts, but anyone who contributed in a reblog (such as posts where someone has been inspired to draw fanart of the OP) will presumably be protected by your opt-out. (A good reason to opt out even if you yourself are not a creator.)

Furthermore, if you the OP were offline and didn't know about the opt-out, if someone contributed to a reblog and they are opted out, then your original work is also protected. (Which makes it very tempting to contribute "scrapeable content" now whenever I reblog from an abandoned/disused blog...)

(4) "What about deleted blogs? They can't opt out!"

I was told by someone (not official) that he read "deleted blogs are all opted-out by default". However, he didn't recall the source, and I can't find it, so I can't guarantee that info. If I get more details - like if/when tumblr puts up that FAQ as reported in the 404 article - I will add it here as soon as I can.

Edit, tumblr has updated their help page for the option to opt-out of third-party sharing! It now states:

The content which will not be shared with our licensed network of content and research partners, including those that train AI models, includes: • Posts and reblogs of posts from blogs who have enabled the "Prevent third-party sharing" option. • Posts and reblogs of posts from deleted blogs. • Posts and reblogs of posts from password-protected blogs. • Posts and reblogs of posts from explicit blogs. • Posts and reblogs of posts from suspended/deactivated blogs. • Private posts. • Drafts. • Messages. • Asks and submissions which have not been publicly posted. • Post+ subscriber-only posts. • Explicit posts.

So no need to worry about your old deleted blogs that still have reblogs floating around. *\o/*

But for your existing blogs, please use the opt out option. And a reminder of how to opt out, under the cut:

The opt-out toggle is in Blog Settings, and please note you need to do it for each one of your blogs / sideblogs.

On dashboard, the toggle is at https://www.tumblr.com/settings/blog/blogname [replace "blogname" as applicable] down by Visibility:

For mobile, you need the most recent update of the app. (Android version 33.4.1.100, iOs version 33.4.) Then go to your blog tab (the little person icon), and then the gear icon for Settings, then click Visibility.

Again, if you have a sideblog, go back to the blog tab, switch to it, and go to settings again. Repeat as necessary.

If you do not have access to the newest version of the app for whatever reason, you can also log into tumblr in your mobile browser. Same URL as per desktop above, same location.

Note you do not need to change settings in both desktop and the app, just one is fine.

I hope this helps!

It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

[visualarchive-orga]

Scrolled all the way back to 2012 in the MirAndy tag - past 2017 tumblr needed to load quite long on every post I tried to reblog, and by 2012 I got a lot of error messages, so they're just quickly drafted right now instead of reblogged or queued up with tags. But they should all be up soon!

Tumblr shipname for Ava Daniels/Deborah Vance from Hacks HBO:

Avorah

Reblog to spread the word!

It was a close thing in the end between Avorah and AvaDeb, but while AvaDeb currently seems to be used a bit more frequently on tumblr, Avorah has also been tagged a lot, and is apparently the most popular option on other sites - and it won the poll of course!

Why decide on a shipname at all?

First of all, to name this blog! I'll try to collect all art and edits of the two, if you have any I haven't reblogged yet, feel free to send them over/ @ the blog, if someone wants to help mod, just send an ask!

But also, it's a lot easier to find new posts when everyone uses the same shipname, so you won't have to enter ten or more variations until you're sure you've seen all posts! So it's clever both for those of us who just want to look at and reblog them, and for the artists it's of course neat to know which tag will get most people to look at their posts!

You can of course still use other shipnames in your posts and use other tags as well and no-one can be forced to use a particular tag at all, but using #Avorah as one of the searchable tags (20 tags per tumblr post) on posts you make for the ship would be cool :)

Now on @visualarchive-avorah !

Vaniels won the last poll, but the other options hadn't been mentioned in it and the post also hadn't been tagged with them because I hadn't been aware of them yet, so it would be unfair to the people who like those versions and wouldn't have seen the poll in the search results... So here's another one to make it fair :)

Just goes to show that deciding on one shipname would be quite helpful for the fandom, not just to name my new blog but also so everyone knows what to tag and what to look for, without having to check so many name combinations it's hard to remember them all!

Feel free to reblog so as many people in the fandom as possible see this!

Mirandy visual archive is getting started!

I had to move it from Ao3 to here because apparently it didn't comply with Ao3 guidelines, so I guess now we hope tumblr won't die anytime soon haha

For art from other websites I'm showing a quick preview and then the link, and the full art behind readmore, I hope everyone will be happy with that so it's still saved on here in case old links to other sites stop working but so it isn't mean reposting, I really don't want to steal from anyone I just want the fandom to be more easily accessible for everyone. If you don't want your external art featured just ask/message!

All the kiss manips I had already collected on Ao3 have been posted!

Other tags I'm already using are

Fluff, angst, established, getting together, flirting, first time, glam, lemon, kiss, lip kiss, cheek kiss, air kiss, hug, cuddling, bed, domestic, wedding, proposal, family, pre-canon, canon, post-canon, AU, Andrea, long hair Andy, short hair Andy, Miranda, young Miranda, family, Cassidy and Caroline, Nigel, Emily

In combination with

Art, comic, manip, photo story, gif, meme, icons, movie still, other media

(so fluff + art: visualarchive-mirandy.tumblr.com/tagged/fluff%20art)

I'm also starting @visualarchive-loubbie-heistwives and @visualarchive-fleurmione again and some other ships soon but mirandy is my favourite so this is the start!

If you want to help mod for any of them or for a different ship I haven't started yet send an ask! Mirandy is the main blog so I wont give the login data to just anyone but you can also send me art I haven't reblogged yet, yours and others!

[visualarchive-orga]

Tagging everyone I have already seen in the fandom both to make it easier for people to find each other while we're all using different #s, and to hopefully get poll participation up!

Ok what is the shipname for Ava and Deborah from Hacks HBO? Either they don't have a really established one or I just can't figure out which it is, some votes would be really appreciated...

I'll probably make another ship themed art & manip archive blog & name it with the winning shipname here!
