While we wish it was as simple as sending them out across the tubes to your friends, delivering these images creates some pretty large technical problems. <span class="markup--quote markup--p-quote is-other" name="anon_cfc1bbc35fec" data-creator-ids="anon">Linking directly to images would leak users’ IP addresses to image hosts, and large images use up lots of bandwidth.
