I hate to give any kind of criminal tips on how to commit their crimes, but why do so many child porn purveyors post their wares to any kind of social networking or blogging site?

For example, take 55-year-old Samuel Silverstein of Glendale, Wisconsin. He was arrested for allegedly posting child porn to the blogging platform Tumblr. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children is said to have contacted authorities when the child porn was discovered. At the time of his arrest Silverstein was reported to have told investigators that the child porn he allegedly posted was for his own use. First, ick. Secondly, I seriously doubt that anyone posting child porn to Tumblr wasn’t trying to share it. Lastly, Tumblr is already messed up enough without people feeling the need to post child porn on it.
