I'm fairly sure there are a few existing services like this out there, have you looked at those?

I only know about CrowdFlower/Mechanical Turk at the moment. I know of other teams that moderate photos, but I don't know anyone that's put together a publicly available API/web service for it. Do you happen to know the names of any existing services?

At a glance, I see 2 on this page http://www.google.com/search?q=moderate+photos+api

I think this would very useful, but for the reverse reason. I believe there could be a lot of value in filtering out non nude photos. Realize the number of photo sharing sites that are available, being able to filter many of them and pull out nude photos could be very useful for those working on porn site companies.
