On FL the social networking site there have been a lot of issues lately regarding credit cards cracking down on morality, and politics and watchdog groups trying to give the site a hard time because of our ‘perverse issues’. There was mention of the site even being shut down. Basically people with influence deciding that bdsm and such are unacceptable. Do you think we should expect issues with access to your blog in light of those issues or the new american regime?-anxious and horny

I don’t think the credit card issue is going to be the problem with Tumblr, but we have an equally ominous scenario of it being sold by Yahoo to Verizon and in that process who knows what new restraints or censorship might be imposed.

On top of that we see some blogs taken down without any warning to their blogger with no way to get it back – blogs that have years worth of content gone in an instant.

So yes, given all the time I put into this, I do worry about it. I back up the blog so I have the content but my main concern is that I’d lose all my followers and have no way to reconnect with them.

I’m keen to know what you guys think. What’s the best way to have some back up connection with this blog that we could fall back to in case of emergency? Would me building a secure email list be a good idea, or some other way of connecting?

Suggestions are very welcome!
