The current status of Tumblr.

About 2 months ago, I stumbled onto child pornographers on tumblr. It came up on my dash and I couldn’t believe it. I immediately unfollowed the user and reported the blog to Tumblr itself.

They emailed me that they had received the report and were working on it. I communicated with them on a daily basis asking why the blog was still up and what they were doing. It was almost TWO WEEKS before anything was done about it.

Im not surprised this is happening, and I’ve lost quite a lot of faith in the site. I run two blogs right now, this one, and @Somecutething which has now been flagged as NSFW. Which doesn’t make any sense because it’s a cute animal blog.

What doesn’t make any sense to me is HOW DOES CHILD PORNOGRAPHY GO UNNOTICED BY @staff FOR SO LONG!?!? Tumblr has let those kids down. Tumblr fucked up and needs to know they fucked up. I’m glad Apple and the iOS store took a stand.

If I find anything, ANYTHING with Child pornography on it I’m not relying on Tumblr Staff anymore to take it down, I will report it straight to NCMEC or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. They’ll actually make sure that something is done.
