Joi's Tumblr is a tumblelog.

Under the new rules, any site that exercises even the smallest amount of editorial control over its content will be considered an “audiovisual service,” and have to pay additional taxes, take down videos within 48 hours if anyone complains of slander, and — most oddly of all — somehow refrain from broadcasting videos “unsuitable for children” at certain times of the day. (No, we have no idea how that works with an online video site.)

My condolences to my Italian friends.
