Naked anti-Donald Trump protest banned on Facebook
Emma Dyason, 19, posted the images to protest against US President Donald Trump.
But her demonstration was cut short after the social network decided to take the images down.
Ms Dyason, from Fritwell, Oxfordshire, said: ‘Last week I produced and executed a photo shoot, taking a feminist/protest approach by writing sexist quotes made by Trump onto scrap pieces of cardboard, and having women pose ‘nude’ in the aim to empower women.
‘I posted three of the images on Facebook, which resulted in many people sharing the post, much to my delight.
‘A day after posting the images, I received a message from Facebook informing me that they had removed the post due to “female nudity,” and also threatened to close my account.’
Facebook’s nudity policy states: ‘We remove photographs of people displaying genitals or focusing in on fully exposed buttocks.
‘We also restrict some images of female breasts if they include the nipple, but we always allow photos of women actively engaged in breastfeeding or showing breasts with post-mastectomy scarring.
‘We also allow photographs of paintings, sculptures and other art that depicts nude figures.’
