I run a popular tech blog on Tumblr and I've noticed the same thing.

Their faulty AI censor bot also flagged 20+ of my non porn tech posts as porn, including a photo of Mars. Sent them all in for manual review months ago, no response yet.

Conversely I'm also still seeing some actual porn on Tumblr. Its apparently not difficult to fool the AI censor with carefully crafted images.

I had several text posts flagged by their algorithm. I still don't know how it managed to do that.

Seems they unleashed a totally untrained ai.

Just add a #sfw tag to your posts. Supposedly that bypasses the scanner.
