No, they couldn't. Multiple developers have said that Apple did not consider this acceptable. The Apple app review team is capricious and does not follow their own published guidelines, and that is not news. This was also an issue with Discord - Discord still doesn't (by Apple didact) permit some servers with adult content in the iOS app, because Apple said there was no way to do so and remain in the store.

What servers ? I’ve seen a couple with full on adult content.

  Partnered servers at least. The ffxiv subreddit server had to remove porn after discord partnership. I think nominally the rules are the same for all public servers, but much like early Reddit, or indeed like Tumblr, Discord does not have the moderation capability to actually enforce that.

> Multiple developers have said that Apple did not consider this acceptable. Given that the problem with Tumblr was the accessibility of CSAM, I think Apple are probably on the right side here saying "just marking it 18+ is not ok" since, y'know, the issue wasn't that "CSAM is available to minors" but "CSAM is available to anyone".

  Is there any reason to believe reddit didn't/doesn't have this same exact problem? I think Tumblr was singled out and made an example of because they had a narrower user demographic spread, particularly popular with young women. In cynical business logic, this made them a safer target for bullying than a site with broader appeal like reddit, facebook or twitter.
