Tumblr access restored in the Philippines

Filipino users can once again access Tumblr.

On X (formerly Twitter), the platform announced that the Philippine government has moved to restore access.

“Huge news! The Republic of the Philippines has officially moved to restore access to Tumblr. Our users in the Philippines should have access restored, if not in the very immediate future,” Tumblr said.

Tumblr said that a “surge of reports” from users prompted action from the government.

“In other words, y'all really did that. In closing: we are so back!”

The update comes a day after the platform confirmed that users in the Philippines were experiencing access issues.

The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) released a statement regarding the “alleged blocking of Tumblr,” saying that the matter was "being reviewed with priority."

Tumblr was founded in 2007.
