I got an autistic question. What kind of cp was hosted? Are we talking the occasional 17 year old? Or some darker shit?
Pls no lynch
Darker. Way darker. Brace yourself, because that hole has no bottom.
Social Media as a whole has a longstanding practice of allowing such content on their networks, to the point where it's an open secret. Some of it is legit (NSA/FBI interests using it as a honeypot), but a lot of it isn't. About 2 years ago, a massive series of child porn rings were unearthed on Twitter, and, rather than do anything about them, Twitter banned anyone who tried to name-and-shame (The FBI, meanwhile, was purportedly glad for the tipoffs). As much as I'd love to insult Twitter over this (and will cheerfully savage individual users over it), Safe Harbor laws exist for this fucking reason.
So Tumblr then. It's way worse.
Key to this is a moderator/admin base that does not bother to even look into complaints. Veterans of the Tumblr subforum will tell you: Death threats, doxings, advocacy for violence against people, and other actions that fall into the category of actionable by law enforcement frequently take days, weeks, or even months and dozens if not hundreds of reports on a given site for Tumblr's staff to take any action (unless you badmouth Brianna Wu and say, post indisputable proof she never graduated, in which case your post will be baleeted because backchannels).
Because Tumblr's admin staff can't be arsed to its job, the worst sort of shit metastasizes across the platform. Entire networks of people calling for the ability to fuck children, people into bestiality, and worse are all commonly found and allowed to stick around until someone reports them enough, which the overarching userbase of Tumblr (mostly Social Justice asshats and people who would be content to be left alone) don't ever do - because the latter group doesn't go looking for it and the former group thinks "minor attracted people" are fine.
Tumblr's tried to clean things up in the last five years but all it's done is make the problem worse: Prosecuting the comparatively normal porn tumblrs that aren't causing any problems, but flat-out pretending the child porn, bestiality, and similar tumblrs don't exist. Again, the problem is, according to most, that Tumblr's staff simply expected algorithms to solve all problems and then washed their hands of it.
I'd be happy to give Tumblr the defense of the Safe Harbor protection loophole, since, again, you're going to have this content on any network that allows user-uploaded content - but in Tumblr's case they pathologically have done nothing but enable this shit and taken zero action over it.
