Every website works off the same technology and database to detect child pornography (PhotoDNA). If it slipped though Tumblr, it would on any other site or app as well (including Apple's).

Most websites also have efficient reporting takedown procedures. Seems Tumblr's are a bit ropey.

The claimed issue was that the database was missing material. This could be as simple as Tumblr stopped updating their database and didn't notice, and so newer images weren't caught.
