Twitter had better resources to prevent NSFW mishaps from creeping into your feed.
In 2017, Twitter had dedicated ML resources driving their recommendation engine + human moderators on fallback duty. You need to explicitly opt-in via web app before you can see NSFW using their app.
In comparison, Tumblr struggled with NSFW content as they relied heavily on
users to police content.
Without opting-in, pornograhic posts regularly bled into standard content. With the demographics, CSAM content quickly started to do the same.
