Same reason that apple did not ban Facebook despite repeated workarounds of user privacy measures. Too-big-to-fail.

Likely so.

But then again, Apple banned Verizon’s app (Tumblr) in 2018 when CSAM was discovered on the platform and not removed fast enough.

Tumblr was never as big as FB or Twitter are

[Y-bar]

The difference is less pronounced than you think.

In 2018 Tumblr had more users (over 60M monthly) than Grok today (30M monthly). And Verizon, the owner, is/was larger than Grok’s owner: xAI.

Ohhhhh ok if you're big you can do whatever and morals don't apply. I get it now!

Unironically, this is exactly the state of the world in 2026
