Am i going to jail?

We've terminated your Tumblr account. As per the policies you agreed to when creating a Tumblr account, we do not allow inappropriate content involving or depicting minors on Tumblr. Creating new blogs or accounts with this same subject matter or content will result in immediate account termination.

Note that the possession and distribution of child pornography is not only a violation of Tumblr's policies, but it is also a very serious crime, and convicted offenders face severe penalties. 

For example, possession of child pornography is a federal felony offense that is punishable by a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, and distribution of child pornography is a federal felony offense that is punishable by a *mandatory minimum* of 5 years in prison, and a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Individuals convicted of child pornography offenses are also required to register as sex offenders. Offenders may also be prosecuted under state child pornography laws in addition to, or instead of, federal laws.

You should also note that Tumblr is required to report child pornography offenders to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and such offenders may be referred to state or federal law enforcement agencies - such as the FBI or Department of Homeland Security - for immediate investigation and prosecution to the fullest extent permissible by law. 

In sum, your attempt to misuse Tumblr as a conduit for viewing or distributing child pornography may result in your criminal conviction and a lengthy period of incarceration. Note that Tumblr is not your lawyer, and we cannot offer you any legal advice on this matter. 

This termination is final, and replies to this message are not reviewed.
