It actually pisses me off more knowing Tumblr was perfectly able to solve its cp problem but just didn’t until it ended up on the news

I dunno if banning half the userbase with poorly-coded bots qualifies as “perfectly able”

Despite glitchiness, they wiped MAP and MAP positivity tags, have put in a new report for drawn CP, have cleared out drawn CP tags, have deleted multiple known pedophiles’ blogs.

Even if some people had to be taken down on the way (with a system in place that makes your blog easily obtainable if you feel you’ve been wrongly deleted, with all of your posts and blogs still in tact), they fixed the problem within a few days.

So, to reiterate:

Tumblr was perfectly able to solve its cp problem but just didn’t until it ended up on the news

Further, the bots were poorly-coded because they were slapped together too quickly as a form of “damage control” in order to address the app being removed from app stores.

Had they done things the right way from the start, taken the time to design better bots or systems, the improper deletions wouldn’t have happened, or at least could have been far more limited.

They had plenty of time; the users have been asking for these issues to be addressed for years, after all.
