Some of these are just weird or very specific. I’d love to hear the reasons for them being banned.

Now what exactly is the thing it refers to?

There's probably little human review here. Most likely, hashtags often used on photos reported by users are automatically flagged.

Also why ban only #russianmilf?

I would assume a lot of people posting "snapchat leaked" type pics (you know which ones I mean) with the hashtag #snapchat. When all those pics get reported the hastags on them get temporarily banned.

Interesting. "anal" is a bad word in English, but not in German. On the other hand, "naked" is a bad word in German, but not in English.

Maybe I should send a pull request...
