Tumblr Users

As the alternative is Verizon being up in court for allowing kiddie-porn on their platform I'm pretty sure the execs don't give two hoots as you can guarantee they don't understand or appreciate what they had and probably would rather see it die a slow death than tarnish the reputation of their fine company with any female-presenting nipples.

I don't see it as any different than trying to haul AT&T into court for allowing a scammer to call me. They're a mass-communications provider, and can't reasonably be expected to moderate the use of their service.

I don't know how anyone gets any traction at all when trying to hold a forum responsible for the posts made by their users.

It may be daft but it's the law, and "kiddie porn" is one of those dog-whistle subjects that allows lawmakers to pull really stupid shit to "protect" the children and shut down rational debate.

I bet this won't decrease the amount of kiddie porn on tumblr (and I've seen a few regulars complain that kiddie porn and neo-nazi / white supremacist stuff has actually gone UP since the ban), it's just screwing over a big community of marginalised people and creatives.

Law suits do not have to be reasonable.

Yep I know, anyone can sue anyone else for any reason at any time (unless your right to file has been temporarily barred due to repeated abuse and pissing off a judge, which does happen occasionally), but it all comes down to whether or not you can win. That's why I said "I don't know how anyone gets any traction". I'd expect if the suits were too meritless, they'd be getting tossed out of court often enough to not be enough a credible threat to cause companies to make pre-emptive changes to avoid being targeted by such litigation.
