Facebook has introduced a new policy restricting users from posting images of fully exposed buttocks, nipple and others on the social networking site.
A spokesperson from Facebook’s global policy management, Monika Bickert confirmed that operations to remove raunchy photos have already started with the lay down of new rules set below…
‘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.
‘Restrictions on the display of both nudity and sexual activity also apply to digitally created content unless the content is posted for educational, humorous or satirical purposes.
‘Explicit images of sexual intercourse are prohibited; some verbal descriptions of sexual acts that go into vivid detail may also be removed.’
Facebook is one of the globe’s most popular social media platforms connecting users with colleagues, friends and family members all over the world.
