How To See If Your Tumblr Blog Is Flagged

Tumblr is a social networking and microblogging platform that allows users to access various kinds of content. Unlike other such apps that include age/location restrictions, it has no regulations over explicit content. Earlier, the 'safe mode' option on Tumblr helped users filter out inappropriate or adult content. In recent years, Tumblr itself has decided to put a ban on sensitive, violent, and NSFW content on the platform, there is no longer a need to add a digital layer of protection via safe mode.
