You can make use of inappropriate content detection via the Google Cloud Vision API. To make use of this feature, just add SAFE_SEARCH_DETECTION to your API request:

 {
    "image": {
          "content": "base64ImageString"
     },
    "features": [
      {
        "type": "SAFE_SEARCH_DETECTION"
      },
     // More feature detection types….
    ]
 }

You get an response like this:

"safeSearchAnnotation" : {
    "spoof" : "VERY_UNLIKELY",
    "medical" : "UNLIKELY",
    "adult" : "VERY_UNLIKELY",
    "violence" : "VERY_UNLIKELY"
 }
