Would they? What have they got to do with this?

Tumblr made it difficult to view NSFW content to appease the App Store. https://mashable.com/article/tumblr-bans-adult-content-polic...

There are some parallels as Tumblr similarly could not control its content sufficiently to both allow most of it and also ensure the problematic content did not persist. Just explaining, not defending either social network or Apple.

Ok but that isn’t ‘anything remotely controversial’.

Presumably advocates of NSFW content on large social networks don’t see a problem with it. Hopefully you see where the other user was coming from now; not looking for you to agree with them.

I do but I think their point wasn’t well made, and is frankly misleading and wrong.

There are very specific kinds of content that lead to these kinds of bans. Pornography and organizing violence are amongst them.

It isn’t about controversial content.

But that's not really true, for example reddit has a massive amount of porn and yet none of the reddit apps get banned.

Why do you think that is?
