Facebook has updated Instagram’s nudity policy, following the Oversight Board’s decision to overturn the company’s removal of an Instagram post.
Published in January, the board’s first Instagram-related ruling found that the post, which exhibited breast cancer symptoms in an eight-photo carousel, “should be allowed under a policy exception for ‘breast cancer awareness.’”
Instagram’s nudity policy still largely prohibits posts that depict female nipples, which remains a point of contention among many. The updated policy states: “photos in the context of breastfeeding, birth giving and after-birth moments, health-related situations (for example, post-mastectomy, breast cancer awareness or gender confirmation surgery) or an act of protest are allowed.”
