so matt’s absolutely giving scorched earth orders behind the scenes right. Not only are publically visible transfems dropping like flies, but every third person who musters up the audacity to comment negatively on Staff or Matt about this vanishes fucking instantly
Wuhoh this is quickly catching on. If I’m deactivated anytime soon, it’s cuz I got nuked. I’m not going down without a fight. Y'all remember that.
someone reblog this version for posterity. If the only copy is on my blog, that vanishes with me. I honestly doubt i’ll get smote but better safe than sorry yeah? I’ll be fine, but if I’m not, I’m making sure the crime scene is as damning as it gets.
If you live in the EU are or an EU citizen and your account gets deleted for any reason you think isn’t justified, please consider doing the following:
1. Make sure to collect evidence of what happened on your end.
2. Contact Tumblr support and tell them you are requesting your data under the GDPR and that as part of the request you want them to state what specific personal data they collected justified the deletion of your account. If they refuse to do either, state that they are under a legal obligation to provide this data to you, that they should forward your request to and put you in contact with their “Data Protections Officer”, and that if they do not comply, you will alert the relevant “Data Protection Authority”.
3. If in step 2 they showed evidence of some kind of discrimination or did not furnish reasonable information, or you suspect they are lying, do the following: Find either the data protection authority (DPA) of your country of residence or that of Ireland (may be a better choice if your government discriminates against queer people) on the EU website, on the website of the DPA you should be able to find guidance on how to submit a complaint. Try to follow their guidelines but also make sure that in your complaint you state that: your account was unjustifiably deleted, what measures you took under step 2, and what Tumblr responded with.
Basically your goal with the above should be to get Tumblr to show that they either had no reason to delete your account or discriminated against you when deleting it. With substantiated claims, the DPA can essentially force the company to fix their behaviour (reinstate your account) and if there is a pattern, the DPA may fine the company. You can also usually claim monetary compensation (including for e.g emotional damage) for such discrimination or other violations of the GDPR in small claims or similar court (contact a lawyer in your jurisdiction, there are quite a few that offer consumers advice who don’t charge fees unless you win compensation).
