Tumblr Radar shown to be carefully curated, useful, informative

California is outlawing Happy Meals! Huge news! Awesome headline! Let’s get that on Radar pronto!

Oh, but they’re not outlawing Happy Meals, just the toys.

And it’s not California, it’s one county in California.

Parts of one county, I mean.

Oh and it’s not a law; it’s a proposal that’s still under consideration.

The Radar is fun, and it’s a great way for Tumblr users to get exposure. But it’s also a really good tool for instantly spreading misinformation to tens of thousands of people.

Might I humbly suggest to any Tumblr staff members who are reading this: before you hit that Radarify button, would you please just do five minutes of research? Just to make sure the post isn’t a complete lie? Those of us who actually take the time to verify and source our claims would really appreciate it.
