Hey, PSA:
On your phone, go to Settings> Security and Privacy> Privacy> Other Privacy Settings> Ads> Delete Advertising ID
Then go back to Other Privacy Settings> Google location history> Turn off Location History &/or Turn-on Auto-Delete (you can set a time period of how long to keep it)
Then, staying on Other Privacy Settings, go to '+ See all activity controls'> Web & App activity> Turn off (you can also turn-on Auto-Delete for here too)
Then Scroll down to Personalized ads> My Ad Center> Turn Off Personalized Ads.
Google has no business knowing/storing everything you do online, and knowing/storing where you go everyday. Turn it off.
These instructions are for an Android phone, IOS might be different. If you have IOS or another operating system feel free to add on with your own map to where they've buried these settings in your phone to help others.

Tumblr Live: it’s not that serious. By BorderlineBelle
Literally I met mutuals of 10+ years on tumblr live.
The hatred over tumblr live was over the top and insane… it truly wasn’t that serious.
If you can stand to be thought critiqued, stay. 🙂
Yes, they robbed us of all our personal info, that’s our choice. Basically.. that’s every single app ever. Wake up. Everyone is just choosing their daddy to participate in this society, which exists ONLINE in equal measure.
Ya’ll bend over to SOME cloud daddy collection somewhere.. unless all your family photos hit printer ink 🫨 why is this the hill you were willing to die on?
Tumblr Live was good.
People hung out, did hobbies, met mutuals, discussed old and new tumblr, made new friends, shared art and music and passion and hobbies…
Before the flood of MeetMe folks… (which was awful. as an OG… I get it) .. it was a chill place to hang out.
The active and consistent and LOUD trolls made it so negative and latched on and like the USUAL TUMBLR PIRANHAS… wouldn’t let it GO.
You made a hashtag and shopped it day and night. Like why???
#TurnOffTumblrLive … was wild.
I consider myself part of the few who supported EVERY FANDOM.. kinda 😅. I’ve been on tumblr for my whole life and before that and I try to be a GOOD community member!
I wasn’t actively working for every fandom 😅 but if it was a high holy holiday of your fandom or a meme or a joke that was so popular it circulated into the main highways of tumblr… that needed spreading… I of course let it roll across my dashboard. I reblogged your top chosen artists and musicians, whomever your communities had chosen … we supported. I supported. As a bit of an outliner. A sad girl yadda yadda mentally ill and sexy… screaming into the void at the porn bots 🤷🏽‍♀️ it was a niche trust me… but I did and do participate with positivity even if I didn’t get the joke.
And … YOU ALL… BURIED AND KICKED AROUND tumblr live as if she was a DiLaurentis triplet. 🤧
Tumblr media
It was way overboard imo. 🤧💅🏽
Some people used tumblr live for good. 👁️👁️
Then the REALLY determined trolls harassed the poor CEO guy and we ALL KNOW HE’s STRESSED. His hair is thinning. We can see it and ya’ll demand and do too much. i hope to one day sit with the man and say, “you’re doing mostly, kind of .. a fine job.” 👍🏽😬
Tumblr, in general, is one of the few places left on the interweb that maintains the primary basic deliciousness of self expression through the works of others. It remains from LONG AGO.
Don’t fucking ruin the overall umbrella of the tumblr space… with deep… leaving funny and entering disturbing… cynicism.
Tumblr media
Remember the LISTEN to OTHER pov’s too. 🤷🏽‍♀️🙂
Real people exist behind the cameras.
That’s all.
I’m glad it’s gone too.
2024 tumblr is gonna be shmexy.

I want to disable tumblr live for good. Why can I only snooze for 7 days?
This new setting should be opt-in. I do not want other people knowing my location, as well. Please allow us to disable this for good, or make it an "opt-in" thing.
This is extremely anti-user, especially for a website like tumblr. Suddenly having a button in the middle of your screen on mobile that you can accidentally tap one too many times and suddenly people can hear you/you are on live with someone else is extremely anxiety inducing and if you guys even beta tested this by a handful of users I'm sure they would have said the same thing.
Tumblr is not social media like other sites, this is why we enjoy it. Stop trying to be like other sites. You guys have a good thing going here and trying to be like twitter will cause issues and more of a divide between you and your users.
You have a good thing going here. Don't screw it up for money or to become like other sites. Capitalism = sameness and you guys are falling into that trap.
For those of you who don't know how to turn it off, you can't. You can go into settings > Account > Dashboard Settings > Snooze Tumblr Live for 7 days.
Presumably this means you will have to turn it back off in 7 days. An absolutely obnoxious feature that is an invasion of our privacy (location). In TOS you say we can disable it, but we can't. We can only 'snooze' it before you start taking our information again/showing others our locations/giving us info based on location.
Horribly toxic practice, you all should be ashamed of yourselves.

@staff turn off tumblr live
Sorry for the rant, this is absolutely unrelated to my blog so y'all don't have to read this but I got to join in and hope that they'll delete this feature or at least make it opt-in because I hate it and it feels just like amino all over again.
There's a ton of features that have been added and I don't like but they're mostly just inconvenient and badly executed that straight up something I hate.
This is the last social media that I genuinely still like and the reason I gotta write this is because I do care about this site for some reason and don't want to leave. There's nowhere else for me to go.

@staff Please get rid of Tumblr live. Every time I see the tumble live profiles, they seem to be getting more sexual. I am terrified that one day I will be exposed to porn on Tumblr accidentally. It's already tedious avoiding sexual posts sometimes while scrolling. Once the Tumblr live pics cross a certain boundary, I will be off Tumblr permanently.

Why can’t we turn off the tumblr live feature?
I don’t want to watch anyone going live. I don’t want to accidentally go live. It adds zero value to this site where content is meant be shared organically through reblogs. There are other sites where people can go live, we don’t need it here too

If anyone by chance wants to know how to turn Tumblr Live off, go to Settings, then go to Dashboard, then scroll all the way down (it’s under Preferences, at the bottom) and click “snooze Tumblr Live”
It only lasts for 7 days and then you’ll have to do it again but yeah
