So I just got an e-mail from Tumblr that reads: "Hello, We've terminated your Tumblr account. As per the policies you agreed to when creating a Tumblr account, we do not allow inappropriate content involving minors. Creating new blogs or accounts with this same subject matter or content will result in immediate account termination. Please note that the possession and distribution of child pornography is not only a violation of Tumblr's policies, but it is also a very serious crime, and convicted offenders may face severe penalties, including fines and incarceration.

I've never uploaded anything questionable but reblogged a few things that probably were...but all things that had a high number of reblogs as well.
How fucked am I? What should I do?
In b4 kill self. Will do if police show up, no question.
Michael Davis
don't worry lets start a tan lines
Ethan Parker
I'm worried tho
Dylan Hill
Drink your own piss and put IcyHot on your balls.
Kevin Adams
I'd rather drink a girls piss but ok.
Still. How fucked am I?
Grayson Gonzalez
Unless you do have child porn then no worry my friend. Yes?
Ryder Price
Depends... are you in possession of, or have you ever downloaded child pornography? If so and they reported you then enjoy prison
Brandon Rogers
Don't have any on my drives if that's what you mean.
Jason Walker
if you have cp delete it and get ccleaner run it and then wipe free space 1 or 2 passes should do
Justin Wood
Nope. Just reblogged stuff that was already in Tumblr.
Zachary Gomez
don't worry about it your in the clear
Kevin Russell
Do this:
-Wipe drives using Dban -Don't find, download or associate with CP -Answer no questions when cops arrive, and request a lawyer
If they take your stuff, don't worry.
I you make it a horrible case to prosecute, they won't prosecute. Simple as that. They get many thousands of leads a year, and can only go after a small fraction of them. They won't waste time on you if they find no images in your possession and get no statement from you.

You're fucked. Enjoy prison.
Nolan Barnes
I accessed Tumblr a bunch with the app on my phone. Does this affect things?
Charles Harris
Break phone. Into small pieces. Toss pieces.
Get a new phone.
If they come for your phone, they'll find nothing.
Just FYI, the average lag time between reporting CP and a door knock is 1-2 months. The cops basically need warrants, and time to coordinate everyone to come to your door. And if/when they do, let them take what they want, make no statements, ask for a lawyer, and wait for this to blow over.
Bentley Richardson
What do you think likelihood of getting a door knock or an FBI file opened on me is?
Justin Lee
Who is the girl in OP picture?
Alexander Turner
It's just a vintage amateur found on the net.
Caleb Miller
File opened: 100%. Trust me, it's done already. Door knock: Depends. If it's an isolated instance, probably not. If it involved transmitting to minors, or multiple instances, or if they have you implicated in other CP activity like file-sharing, the chances skyrocket. They only have resources to prosecute about 10% of the leads they get, so they pick the worst/most flagrant/easiest cases and go for those.
If it were me, assume the worst, bust your phone, wipe your shit and avoid anything that would remotely resemble CP for the next 6 months, and be prepared for a LEA visit in the next 3.
William Garcia
Fuck. Will having an FBI file fuck with my employment prospects?
Sebastian Myers
Also, this happened only a couple of days ago. If I do an FOIA request for my FBI file, could that make it too early for it to show up there?
Landon Jackson
No, files don't matter, they aren't public records.
Hudson Edwards
i would ask hillary clinton how she wipes her cp
Jose Sullivan
It'll get denied since it's an active criminal investigation. They won't give you anything until you are at least a few years out.
Colton Watson
I still should do the FOIA request I think. Just to see what's there.
Is there a lag time between this week and when it wound show up in my file?
Landon Walker
If it becomes an active criminal investigation, it'll say that in the letter or just s blanket "denied"?
I'm just trying to figure out my chances.
Colton Richardson
Go back to tumblr you fucking stupid sjw cunt
Thomas Ross
It's a coin toss. Based on what you told me, 50-50.
They'll just deny it. Dont waste your time crunching chances, just remove any incriminating evidence and prepare for a bunch of guys with guns and uniforms to toss up your house and question you. Remember, their goal is to gather physical or testimonial evidence of a crime, and if you give no statement and they find no physical evidence corroborating a crime they'll let it drop.
Nathan Morgan
The digital trail isn't enough for them to prosecute?
Landon White
Get your harddrive and put it in your toaster, say what tumbler account ? get lawyer and lube up boy.
Ryan Nguyen
No. The posts are evidence that a crime has occurred, but unless they can tie it to a person through testimony or physical evidence, they won't prosecute. They need to have proof that you posted the images.
Ryder Parker
Thank you. This makes me think having to kill myself is less of a certainty.
They can't just cross apply the IPs used and the e-mail I signed up with etc.?
Jayden Gray
Are they 100% likely to prosecute if they do take your device and find cp?
Jonathan Butler
(More) The general idea in CP investigations like this is to come in with a warrant, find other CP that you are in possession of, and prosecute for that. CP possession prosecutions have a 100% conviction rate because all that needs to be proven is you possess a device that has CP. They literally are the easiest cases for prosecutors. You probably wouldn't see distribution charges (from the posts) for this since they'd already have you for possession.
Caleb Smith
>banned on tumblr for posting CP >comes to Cred Forums and posts CP ok
Gabriel Johnson
Well, I'm making damn sure they won't find a device with cp. Just wondering if a case can still be made if no cp found on a device.
Bentley Adams
you just admitted to tampering with evidence. good job.
Dominic Howard
Guaranteed. If you hand them a device with CP, you are facing guaranteed prison, felony conviction, and sex offender registration. Since it crossed state lines, interstate commerce applies, which makes fed prosecution possible, and that's a minimum of 5 years incarceration.
Joseph Mitchell
yes. it won't go to trial though. They will offer you 3 years / sex offender registry. If you refuse they will go after you for like 600 years, not even joking. So you plead out.
Oliver Powell
...
Josiah Green
What if the case is handled at state level? Is prosecution still inevitable or is there a chance they will just drop the case?
Jordan Ortiz
Honestly if the posts were only questionable like someone who could be 17 or look young and have no text saying anything like that couldn't you just say you didn't know?
Blake Nelson
Look, faggot, tumblr has this thing, where they try to flag anything as a crime sometimes. I've had a few tumblr accounts myself, only for regular porn/amateur/asian and shit related.
But, the thing is, even if your posts were cp, or related material, most of your blog stuff was porn, right? Tumblr has been dealing with so many porn blogs that they're shutting down almost every other porn blog around. What was your tumblr anyway?
Jonathan Sanchez
95+% of these cases end in plea bargain, terms as you posted.
I've only seen one case aquitted, ever, and that's because it was proven that the model was over 18 and therefore it wasn't CP.
The other 5% end up convicted by jury and get marginally longer terms (partially for not admitting guilt, but mostly because a prosecutor will stack each image as a separate charge, and then the minimum sentences for each charge also stack). Only the stupid even try to fight it.
Juan Moore
You... had CP? >why
Brandon Flores
Well, sex offender registry is, to me, 100% suicide-worthy so....
Sebastian Perry
I just don't understand how OP even did this to themselves.
Why would you reblog questionable shit on fucking >tumblr of all places, with the justification being that others have also given it (undetermined amount) of reblogs?
Shit, OP. You did this to yourself. How doesn't even matter.
Lincoln Young
Just destroy your phone, wipe your devices, and keep your mouth shut if they ask questions. They won't do anything unless they have definitive evidence that either YOU sent it or YOU possess it.
