Yeknow, I agree with the other anon. Newspaper outlets have legal teams to protect themselves, due to high coverage of crime stories (so does tumblr but they aren't newspaper typically), but yeknow who doesn't? People that run drama blogs, they likely don't have the funding for it.
If someone were to be seriously injured or dies, and there's clear evidence that the source was from harassing messages, which originated from a drama blog, what do you do? Investigate the harassers *and* the drama blog. The policy is evidence and doesn't look stellar.
It's not that farfetched. Investigators have to cover every little thing, and that includes the blog, yeknow? Posts might not break tos itself, so tumblr might not remove them, but it could still lead to some really crappy things happening, especially when you consider alot of the players of FR (many vulnerable crowds). The behavior of people is what could land them in trouble. People like to act like lemmings sometimes.
