Nobody's distributing a free dataset of child abuse, animal torture and terror beheading images, for obvious reasons.

There are some open-weights NSFW detectors [1] but even if your detector is 99.9% accurate, you still need an appeals/review mechanism. And someone's got to look at the appeals.

All of this is so dystopian (flowers/beheadings) it makes K Dick look like a golden-age Hollywood musical. Are the engineers so unaware of the essential primate forces underneath this that cannot be sanitized from the events? You can unearth our extinction from this value dichotomy.
