Because there’s already plenty of places on the internet to host a censored photo blog for free. And because some people (myself included) resent the implication that watching porn is deviant behavior. And because there’s actually no conclusive evidence that’s it’s harmful to children.

Are you aware that in this case the actual issue was child pornography?

That's obviously not the case, otherwise they'd have banned only that.

When do you think child pornography was not banned?

It's widely believed to be an issue of effective enforcement, and they explicitly call out the connection in their own announcement.

Neither the article nor any of the commenters in this chain has said anything about "Tumblr should not be allowed" to do this.
