Tumblr has restricted what its users can see on its iOS app in an effort to make sure it doesn't get kicked out of Apple's App Store again.

Its meager price tag doesn't reflect its value for many users.

Six years after Yahoo purchased Tumblr for north of $1 billion, its parent corporation is selling the once-dominant blogging platform. WordPress owner Automattic Inc. has agreed to take the service off of Verizon’s hands. Terms of the deal are undisclosed, but the number is “nominal,” compared to i…

Less than two years after buying Tumblr as part of its Yahoo acquisition, Verizon is reportedly trying to sell the blogging platform. Pornhub has also announced that it wants to buy Tumblr and end the site's Verizon-imposed porn ban. "Verizon Communications Inc. is seeking a buyer for blogging website Tumblr, according to people familiar with the matter, as it tries to steady a media business that has struggled to meet revenue targets," The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday.

Pornhub confirmed to BuzzFeed News that it is interested in acquiring Tumblr after news broke that Verizon is looking to sell the blogging platform. Pornhub Vice President Corey Price said in an email to BuzzFeed News that the porn-streaming giant is extremely interested in buying Tumblr, the once uniquely horny hub for young women and queer people that banned adult content last December to the disappointment of many of its users.

Social network Tumblr is back on Apple's app store after pledging to remove adult content from the platform. Tumblr was removed from the app store in November after child abuse images were found to have slipped through its content filters. The social network then said it would ban adult content completely from 17 December. However, the move has angered many people who said they used the platform as a way to express their sexuality.

Earlier this month, Apple removed Tumblr from the App Store after it was found to be serving child pornography. Now, as spotted by The Verge, Tumblr is set to ban all adult content from its platform later this month. As we previously reported, Tumblr’s filters didn’t catch the child pornography that caused its iOS app to be pulled. Tumblr shared the following statement...

The ban includes explicit sexual content and nudity with some exceptions.

Tumblr said on Wednesday that it acted quickly to fix a bug on its blogging site that left user data exposed. The New York-based company added that it couldn't be sure which users were affected by the bug, but said there's no evidence that any data was stolen by hackers.

The soft touch of Yahoo versus the suspected iron fist of Verizon.

Tumblr has just announced that it will start injecting affiliate codes into its users blogs as a way for the underperforming site to generate more revenue. In an announcement released on its site, Tumblr stated it has partnered with VigLink, a company specializing in content monetization, to roll out the program across all 313.8 million of its user-created blogs, unless the blogger specifically opts out of the program using a new option in Tumblr’s settings or is already using their own affiliate code on the links in question.

Marissa Mayer may be ending her tenure at Yahoo on a sour note. Yahoo is writing down the value of its Tumblr acquisition by $482 million, citing lower projections for the social network's future performance, the company announced Monday. This comes after Yahoo (YHOO, Tech30) took a $230 million similar writedown last quarter on its Tumblr buy. In total, Yahoo has now written down more than half of Tumblr's value since acquiring it for $1.1 billion in 2013 -- rendering Mayer's biggest acquisition to date effectively worthless.

Yahoo had high hopes for Tumblr when it bought the blogging platform for $1.1 billion in 2013, but it hasn't lived up to its expectations. The troubled company has lowered its valuation to $760 million, down $230 million from its previous $990 million value (Yahoo only snapped up Tumblr for over a billion due to its liabilities). Marissa Mayer and her colleagues expected the startup to boost its userbase to a billion. While that did eventually happen over...

The short answer is, no, of course, nothing can save Yahoo. A year from now things will certainly look very different in Sunnyvale. The longer answer is, there’s a good media company here, with a lot of great assets and a real audience. That audience is both blessing and curse, since, while all those eyeballs bring in a lot of money, the fact that they’re there hasn’t forced Yahoo to adapt to the new digital media environment. The lack of urgency shows...
