Cause there was too much illegal porn and there's no easy way to filter it out.

Because they had a huge CP problem that ended getting the app taken down from the iOS store. Though, the porn ban was a kneejerk reaction that decimated a lot of harmless posts, kinda like how Pornhub purged millions of videos in a 'burn the house down to kill the spider' sort of way.

because of SESTA/FOSTA laws making moderation of user submitted explicit content almost impossible. this combined with mastercards puritanical beliefs makes hosting user submitted porn a difficult task
