The National Coalition Against Censorship explains, \u201cIn recent months, Facebook has faced scrutiny for its community guidelines and censorship practices…The site\u2019s policies, which make an exception for nudity in paintings and sculptures, exclude photography. Photographers reported having their accounts and photos deleted without warning or explanation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nude photographers aren\u2019t the only people getting the ban hammer from Facebook\u2019s automated image monitoring system. Totally legit photos of other things such as breastfeeding mothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PetaPixel cites photographer Scott Tunick\u2019s work with the #WeTheNipple campaign to highlight Facebook\u2019s selective banning of photographers featuring the female nipple but images with the male equivalent go unchecked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The official community standards policy from Facebook on this issue reads in part, \u201cWe restrict the display of nudity or sexual activity because some people in our community may be sensitive to this type of content…Our nudity policies have become more nuanced over time. [\u2026] While we restrict some images of female breasts that include the nipple, we allow other images, including those depicting acts of protest, women actively engaged in breast-feeding, and photos of post-mastectomy scarring. We also allow photographs of paintings, sculptures, and other art that depicts nude figures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NCAC stated in response to this policy, \u201cImages of the human body have been a central subject of art for centuries…Nevertheless, Instagram, the most popular platform for artists who share their work online, and Facebook both ban photographic representations of the body.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you think about Facebook\u2019s community standards? Too restrictive or the right formula for keeping the platform from going the way of Tumblr? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
