> Every photo site since the beginning of user uploads has had this problem. This isn’t an issue if you decide to invest the resources into fixing it. That means hire people to look at photos. It means hooking in to the NCMEC / FBI’s database of known hashes. It’s buying (not even building) a content filter. These things exist. Tumblr decided not to bother, which forced them to panic and nuke the site from orbit. Tumblr had an entire team that did literally all of those things, for years. They did not "decide not to bother".

Did they really bother though? I mean, I’m sure they have people employed, but something is seriously mismanaged. How did they let it get so bad? This should have never gotten to the point that another company had to say, “WTF is with all the child porn?” Saying you have team working on something, but not giving them appropriate resources, not taking the problem seriously, is same as not bothering. It’s same as saying, “We take your concerns seriously”, and then throwing the complaint in the trash. Their actions betray they’re true feelings.
