WOW! I just received this email from Tumblr, I wonder if WordPress will be doing a similar check of accounts!!Â
As part of our commitment to transparency, we want you to know that we uncovered and terminated 84 accounts linked to Internet Research Agency or IRA (a group closely tied to the Russian government) posing as members of the Tumblr community.
The IRA engages in electronic disinformation and propaganda campaigns around the world using phony social media accounts. When we uncovered these accounts, we notified law enforcement, terminated the accounts, and deleted their original posts.
While investigating their activity on Tumblr, we discovered that you either followed one of these accounts linked to the IRA, or liked or reblogged one of their posts:

You arenât in trouble and donât need to take any action if you donât want to. We deleted the accounts but decided to leave up any reblog chains so that you can curate your own Tumblr to reflect your own personal views and perspectives.
Democracy requires transparency and an informed electorate and we take our disclosure responsibility very seriously. Weâll be aggressively watching for disinformation campaigns in the future, take the appropriate action, and make sure you know about it.

I don’t recognize any of the blogs listed, but I could’ve reblogged from someone who had reblogged from one of them. I’m seriously only there for the pretty pix and submitting my kitties to the Kitty Blog! lol
I mean Hello! Look at this hair!

This is where I got my Oilslick color design from: OhKristinaYes
I will be going through my Tumblr and cleaning it up again! I had to delete a lot of stuff because of issues with a co-writer in the past! Word of advice: if you have a co-writer have them sign a contract!! Yep!

mchelsmusings *FACEPALM*, Awareness, blogging, PSA, thoughts, Wordpress Copyright Infringement is Illegal! I will be reporting YOU!, Dreamstime images, Getty Images, leave me a comment, Masterfile images, Need his blog, Shutterstock Images 5 Comments
As an artist, I don’t always put a huge C on my work, but Shutterstock, Dreamstime, Getty Images and other artist’s do!!!
I would NOT want to be the individual that is using Shutterstock, Dreamstime and Getty Images WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION!!!
Which I just saw on a blog!! I’m facepalming while I’m thinking, do I need to start doing overlays on my work again?? I mean this person doesn’t obviously care or doesn’t know the law about copyrighted images!!!
Just because you see it on the internet doesn’t mean it’s yours to use!!!
 ***Unless there are rules of usage on the website.
Those images I color and post from various coloring page sites, yep, they have those rules- those images are for personal use and no using to profit from. I’m coloring and sharing what I colored, I’m not asking for money!
The other images I share that I’ve colored, I have the ARTIST’s permission to do so!!! As an artist, I am very good at ensuring I have or use a copyrighted item with permission or follow the site’s rules. But to use an obviously Copyrighted item, I mean here from his entry! I won’t list his name or the name of his blog, but let’s see if he notices this work!!!
