I don't know what type or if they have any filters as far as people putting certain photo's on...as it is clear they don't catch them all and when they do they are removed...but if you go to search and put in anything that might have a sexual overtone...it will tell you that those are not allowed.
No filter is going to be perfect. Sometimes you'll get false positives. I've heard of people posting close up pics of baby faces or their newborn clad only in a diaper, and they get incorrectly flagged as *advertiser censored*. The filter gets thrown off by the large percentage of the pic that is in flesh tone.
On the flip side, applying a tint or color effect to a pic makes it much less likely a filter will pick it up as *advertiser censored*. If someone shades all of their pics blue for example that isn't going to set off a flesh tone detector. Or if there is a small amount of one's body that is showing, but it happens to be a "private" area, that may get through.
The bottom line is, filter's are not 100%. However, it is very unlikely that someone could get more than a handful of "*advertiser censored*" images successfully into their PB account unless they were taking deliberate means to bypass filters. And even then it would probably get caught and result in action against the account per the PB TOS.
