The offending post by CEO Mullenweg stems from the account of a Tumblr user named 'predstrogen' who had his account frozen. Mr. predstrogen is frustrated that Tumblr is not responding to the fact that he has been targeted by offensive posts by ``transhaters,'' and posted a message on Tumblr titled ``A car full of hammers.'' I hope that (CEO Mullenweg) faces an eternal, painful death, like exploding over and over again and sending hammers flying everywhere.'

After posting, Mr. predstrogen's Tumblr account was frozen, but like Mr. predstrogen, users who were dissatisfied with ``attacks against transgender people on Tumblr'' were flooded with inquiries about CEO Mullenweg. CEO Mullenweg posted on Tumblr the reason for freezing Mr. predstrogen's account in response to inquiries.

According to CEO Mullenweg's explanation, predstrogen's account ``posted offensive text against numerous Tumblr users, including CEO Mullenweg,'' and ``posted adult content without adding an adult label.'' It was suspended because it violated the terms of use, which requires compliance with guidelines .

It is an unusual situation for the CEO of an SNS operating company to explain the reason for freezing individual users, but after posting on Tumblr, CEO Mullenweg also posted his opinion on predstrogen's freezing on X. For example, in the post below, it is mentioned that Mr. predstrogen posted a large amount of adult content, and also that a large amount of adult content was posted on a sub-account operated by Mr. predstrogen. are listed.

In addition, CEO Mullenweg responded to a user who inquired about predstrogen's suspension by saying, ``I don't really understand what you're saying. We need to protect users who continue to post offensive things to the Tumblr management team and other users.'' It has also been reported that he sent a direct message saying, 'Is there one?'

At the time of article creation, CEO Mullenweg has set the posted content of his Tumblr account to private.
