I can't verify the truth of it, but I heard that the catalyst to the porn ban was a meeting where they were pitching Tumblr advertisements to some company, and wanted to demonstrate how tags and engagement works, so they pulled up the #McDonalds tag live to demonstrate and they got a screen full of Ronald McDonald porn.
Should have been filtering out nsfw in the board room

I don't care if this is debunked in the next millisecond, this is my head canon from now till the end of time.
That sounds absolutely plausible and is thus now incorporated as Truth into my memory of the goings-on.
