If you need a quick & dirty solution (that works for now), I suggest using [An Algorithm for Nudity Detection - by R. Ap-Apid](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/249767252_An_Algori...). It has multiple oss implementations in [js](https://github.com/pa7/nude.js), [python](https://github.com/hhatto/nude.py), [ruby](https://github.com/rummelonp/nude.rb), [go](https://github.com/koyachi/go-nude), and you could probably find one in the language you're using (or implement it yourself). It works well enough™
