Online Child Exploitation

Pro-life values extend to all areas of society’s most vulnerable: the unborn, children, and the elderly. Fragile lives should be protected by the strong. Children, in particular, are gifts that are brought in each of our lives to remind us that life continues on even after we are gone. They are treasures sent from God to cherish, love, and protect. We have a responsibility and duty to make sure that they are cared for, provided for. We give them everything they need to grow up, enabling a pathway to who they are meant to become. Pedophilia is not normal. Children must be protected on and offline.

Tumblr’s Porn Crackdown



According to BigCommerce, “Tumblr is a blogging and social media tool that allows users to publish a ‘tumblelog,’ or short blog posts. Tumblr’s major differentiator is the free-form nature of the site and the ability of users to heavily customize their own pages.”

Society can not get to the place that child pornography and pedophilia are normal.

On November 16, 2018 the Tumblr social media site learned that they had been removed from the Apple store. The problem cited was pornography found on its blogger site. Apple immediately pulled the app due to the severity of the content. Four days ago, the Tumblr app returned to the Apple store after Tumblr claimed to have removed (or hidden) all the NSFW content, adult and child pornography. In a recent blog post, Tumblr CEO Jeff D’Onofrio attempted to recover Tumblr’s image:

“We’re committed to helping build a safe online environment for all users, and we have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to media featuring child sexual exploitation and abuse. As this is an industry-wide problem, we work collaboratively with our industry peers and partners like NCMEC to actively monitor content uploaded to the platform. Every image uploaded to Tumblr is scanned against an industry database of known child sexual abuse material, and images that are detected never reach the platform. A routine audit discovered content on our platform that had not yet been included in the industry database. We immediately removed this content. Content safeguards are a challenging aspect of operating scaled platforms. We’re continuously assessing further steps we can take to improve and there is no higher priority for our team.”

After being a haven for those with an appetite for sexually explicit content for almost a decade, Tumblr decided to remove all NSFW content from the social blogging site. We’ll see… the swift crackdown has caused Tumblr’s NSFW flagging to go haywire; it’s porn filters now flag its own examples of ‘permitted’ nudity.

Plenty of Porn Advocates, Where are the Child Advocates?

Tumblr’s crackdown caused an uproar across all social media. The uproar focused on the restriction to view NSFW content, not on child exploitation. Tumblr announced it would ban all NSFW content on December 17, 2018. Here are some of their responses:



Congratulations to Tumblr on taking a stand against the only thing people still go on Tumblr for — Mike Drucker (@MikeDrucker) December 3, 2018 Archive.is

And just like that, @tumblr will be irrelevant to everyone, thanks to their stupid decisions and bend-over mentality. #tumblrisdead — Odie (@Overdrive987) December 3, 2018 Archive.is

Tumblr: We're gonna ban adult material on our site.

Majority of user base: Welp no more reason to come here.

Twitter: yeeeeeeess. Make us more money child.#tumblrisdead — Jace Cameron (@Jacecam32) December 3, 2018 Archive.is

Hashtags such #tumblrisdead and #RIPTumblr soared to the top of the trending charts. It was oddly silent on the mention of exploitation of children. There are crickets on the fact that pedophiles are roaming the halls of social media searching for children to exploit. They do not seem to worry about children being auctioned off to the highest bidder at the hands of pedophiles.

What is more important to a society than the exploitation of those most vulnerable among us? It seems that boobs and butts are. Do we really want to fight for those who wish to keep nothing sacred? Yet not fight while pedophiles rob the innocence of those not old to decide for themselves?

Pedophilia and Child Exploitation

Pedophilia in its most basic term is the preying of adults on children for sexual gratification. Adults viewing children as the objects of their sexual desires.

Clearly these people have no qualms in preying on the most innocents among us, our children. A study done in 2010 by the National Center For Victims of Crime stated the following: “The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Children’s Bureau report Child Maltreatment 2010 found that 9.2% of victimized children were sexually assaulted.“ Further review of the article brought more startling statistics. Studies by David Finkelhor, Director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center, show that one in five girls and one in 20 boys are victims of child sexual abuse (CSA).

Self-report studies show that 20% of adult females and 5-10% of adult males recall a childhood sexual assault or sexual abuse incident. During a one-year period in the U.S., 16% of youth ages 14 to 17 had been sexually victimized. Over the course of their lifetime, 28% of U.S. youth ages 14 to 17 had been sexually victimized. Children are most vulnerable to CSA between the ages of 7 and 13.



Remember, what happens online is a reflection of offline behavior. The NSFW content will not cease, it will migrate. Tumblr took such drastic moves to remove all NSFW content from their blogging site that a migration has occurred to other social media giants such as Twitter, Facebook, and more. The question remains, what does this means for the children?



Pedophilia Signaling on Twitter

Now that we have established the facts of what happened at Tumblr, what Pedophilia is, now let’s take a closer look at Twitter. What has Twitter done to protect the children?

Nothing… Take a look at the following Twitter accounts and see for yourself.



Apparently the pedophiles from tumblr have just moved to Twitter. Be aware that if they have MAP (minor attracted person) or NOMAP (non offensive minor attracted person) in their bio, they are 100% a PEDOPHILE — ok porg (@nerdybyptw) December 5, 2018 Archive.is

I’ve reported over 30 pedo accounts a couple of weeks ago & 1 account was found in violation of Twitter’s ‘standards’ 🤬🤬 — Kat Fisher ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (@ConserVKat) December 7, 2018 Archive.is

Due to efforts of many who reported Amos Yee @TheAmosYee, the Twitter account is now suspended.



Social Responsibility of Social Media Platforms

Media giants such as Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr are not concerned that children are being exploited on their social media sites. They squelch the voices that defend the children and applaud the rights of the demented. This is a sad indicator of what our society has become.

They are choosing to ignore, censor, and delete accounts for silly infractions that mean nothing. Yet, they allow monsters to parade openly, preying on the children for sport. What does this tell you about social media? Pedophiles hide behind secret hashtags and fake accounts. Social Media platforms openly ban others who fight against the normalization of sexual exploitation of children. Why is this?

How Do We Win This Battle?



The best offense is a defense. Society can not get to the place that child pornography and pedophilia are normal. The labels the pedophiles identify with are sick and evil. We must be a voice for the voiceless among us.

We cannot depend on anyone else to do it for us. The evidence is clear, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, all of them are complicit in crimes against children. Their silence and their silencing of others who try to save the children is alarming and it is frightening.



On social media, do not be afraid to report pedophiles when you encounter them. Society needs to stand up to bullies, to perverts, and those who would abuse children. It is not about you; it is about children. Pedophiles can not be allowed to make this normal behavior. This is where they are headed with this. They want to make pedophilia normal.



Tim Constantine foresaw in 2016, “So what could possibly be next? What is the next normal? Pedophilia. I kid you not. Pedophiles are now “coming out” and declaring their sexual proclivity for children is just how they were created. After all, they tell us, who would choose to be that way? That logic sounds alarmingly familiar.”

Closing Thoughts

Children are precious; they are God-given treasures for us to love. Each one a jewel of sunshine, to brighten even the hardest of hearts. If you will not fight for them, then who will you fight for? Pedophilia is not normal. It should not be viewed as normal. It is a cancer upon the soul of our society. Please stand up to #SaveTheChildren.
