this brings into discussion what identifying propaganda actually entails when corner cases like this pop up. interesting circumstances.
it makes me wonder: if you're actively doing research on these modern day areas of conflict and the culture that's in them, would you rather ask for forgiveness or permission when posting your material to a site that monitors material of that nature? and if it was so easy to gain forgiveness, what would stop people from framing said areas of conflict in different lights under the guise of research?

Somebody's account has been suspended. Ok, why? "I assume he has been suspended because Tumblr thinks Chris is spreading jihadi propaganda.". So (unless it wasn't posted for some reason) nothing to back this up at all and we actually don't know why he was suspended.

Tumblr always felt like an odd place for anything academic or serious. Am I alone in that thought?

As it is said on Tumblr itself: "This Blue Fucking Hellsite"

This is one of the taboo subjects of our times. It's ok to be a jihadi and post your stuff, but to criticize the jihadi culture and expose its inner workings is not ok since it implies moral judgment. We can't have any of that.
